CDP is crucial in assessing the CO2 intensity and consequently the risk profile of a company. Hence Union Investment declines to discharge the supervisory and the management board of a DAX30 company, if it did not follow on the request to disclose its emissions to CDP.

“We expect the state AP pension funds […] to lead
the way and set a good example in their work on
climate change and other sustainability issues.
Therefore, we urge the AP pension funds and other
institutional investors, as a first step, to increase
transparency and to explore the possibilities for
reporting the CO2 emissions associated with their
investment portfolios.”
