CLEVELAND – Eaton has been recognized as a leader among S&P 500 companies, having recently been named to the Climate Disclosure Leadership Index (CDLI) by environmental non-profit CDP. This is the sixth year Eaton has received a position on the CDP’s S&P 500 CDLI in recognition of the depth and quality of its climate change data disclosure.
“More than a responsibility, Eaton regards sustainability as fundamental to our business and pivotal to our future success,” said Harold Jones, senior vice president of Environment, Health and Safety. “Our inclusion in the CDLI demonstrates the progress we’re making to be transparent in our effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, water and energy consumption, and eliminate landfill waste.”
Eaton global facilities adhere to one set of standards, such as carbon emissions, energy and water consumption and waste treatment, and are united to help customers manage power more efficiently and safely by deploying the company’s energy-efficient products and technologies.
“The need for disclosure of corporate climate change impacts and strategies to reduce them has never been greater,” said Paul Simpson, CEO of CDP. “We congratulate those businesses that have achieved a position on CDP’s S&P 500 Climate Disclosure Leadership Index. These companies are responding to the ever-growing demand for environmental accountability and helping to inspire others to follow suit.”
