The carbon disclosure project (CDP) was released by the National Business Initiative (NBI) last week and it revealed that Growthpoint scored the highest in the property sector.
Growthpoint has also taken the lead in carbon disclosure for the real estate sector on the African continent.
CDP rates companies in two core areas – the disclosure of emissions and activities, and response to climate change.
Valerie Geen, director of Climate & Energy Unit at the NBI explains that Growthpoint’s substantial improvement, boosting its carbon disclosure score from below 50 percent to over 80 percent in a single year, is particularly pleasing.
