FTSE 100 90% reponse rate is highest in world

The Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) has announced that the response rate from the UK’s FTSE 100 companies to their carbon emissions questionnnaires amounted to 90%, the highest of any CDP sample in the world. While 90% of FTSE 100 companies reported through CDP, only 58% of FTSE 250 companies did so, a gap the CDP says will close when the UK emissions reduction scheme, the Carbon Reduction Commitment, comes into force in 2010.
