Senior plc recognised for climate change leadership with place on CDP's 2023 Climate Change 'A List'
Senior plc ("Senior" or "the Group"), an international manufacturer of high technology components and systems, has been recognised for its leadership in corporate transparency and performance on climate change by CDP, by securing a place on its annual 'A List'. Based on data reported through CDP's 2023 Climate Change questionnaire, Senior is one of a small number of companies, out of over 21,000 companies scored, that achieved an 'A' rating. This is the second year in a row that Senior has achieved CDP's highest ranking.
David Squires, Group Chief Executive Officer of Senior said: "We are thrilled to announce that we have again achieved the prestigious "A" rating from CDP. This recognition underscores our position as a leader within our sector and our dedication to the highest levels of transparency regarding our climate change initiatives. This accolade reaffirms our pledge to fully support the transition towards a sustainable, Net Zero future. We are committed to leveraging our know-how to design and supply products that enhance efficiency and minimise the environmental footprint of our customers' end products."
Sherry Madera, CEO of CDP, said: "Congratulations to all the companies on CDP's 'A List', and those companies that started or accelerated their journey towards environmental transparency in 2023 - we saw a 24% increase of disclosures last year and that trajectory is to be applauded. It is only by laying the groundwork of disclosure that companies can show they are serious about the vital part they play in securing a Net Zero, nature-positive future. Earning a place on the 'A List' is about more than the score. It's an indication of high quality, complete data that equips companies with a holistic view of their environmental impact, serves as a baseline for transition plans and - crucially - enables them to follow through on their ambitions. As we move deeper into the Decade of Action, and as CDP continually raises the bar for what represents environmental leadership, the work of 'A List' companies is never complete. We look forward to seeing all companies turn their commitments into further and more meaningful and effective action."
