Praxair, Inc. (NYSE:PX), has been named to the new Climate A
List by CDP, recognizing actions Praxair has taken to manage its
own carbon footprint and that of its customers. This is the ninth
consecutive year that Praxair has been named to a CDP list or
index.
CDP (formerly the Carbon Disclosure Project) is an
international, not-for-profit organization providing a global
system for companies and government organizations to measure,
disclose, manage and share information on environmental
performance.
Praxair is one of 193 global companies, accounting for nine
percent of corporations participating in CDP’s climate change
program, to be awarded a position on the list. Additionally,
Praxair is the only industrial gas company included on the Climate
A List.
“This recognition reinforces the importance of efforts our
employees make each and every day to support Praxair’s mission of
making our planet more productive,” said Praxair’s VP and Chief
Sustainability Officer Dr. Riva Krut. “Through our atmospheric and
process gases, and technology, Praxair has developed a wide variety
of applications that help our customers improve manufacturing
productivity and efficiency and solve global challenges. These
include gases that help disinfect water to make it drinkable and
gases that provide clean air in our cities through desulfurizing
diesel and gasoline fuel in our trucks and cars.”
In 2015, Praxair implemented global projects that, among other
benefits, enabled customers or their end users to avoid more than
two times the GHG emissions than were emitted in all of Praxair’s
operations. Additionally, from 2010, the company achieved a
cumulative $260 million savings in energy efficiency, including
avoiding 1.4 million MWh electricity and 2.1 million MT CO2e, which
contributed directly to Praxair's operating results.
The Climate A List, along with the climate scores of all
companies publicly taking part in CDP’s climate change program this
year, is available on CDP’s website.
