Here's what German companies do to reduce greenhouse gas emissions

For the second time, the Financial Times and Statista, the European data provider, are compiling a list of German companies that have achieved the greatest reduction in emissions intensity.

The aim is to highlight the businesses whose greenhouse gas GHG emissions intensity — that is, GHG emissions relative to revenue — fell the most between 2015 and 2020. The inaugural list can be found here.

All European companies with a minimum revenue of €40 m or 36 m in 2020 are eligible for consideration See below for the full list of eligible countries In order to participate, we invite you to fill out a short questionnaire about your company s GHG emissions for all available years between 2015 and 2020, and its revenue over the same period or, for banks, the net interest income. We also ask you to send a data verification form, which needs to be downloaded and signed.

Eligibility for the list will be determined by the compound annual reduction rate CARR of the emissions intensity. Potential candidates will be contacted by Statista or can put their name forward on the Statista website, which also has more information about the methodology, conditions of participation and useful contacts.

Inclusion in the Europe s Climate Leaders list will be a public and visible recognition of your company's environmental performance that extends far beyond your specific industry and country. It will also generate attention for your business on the part of potential partners, customers, employees and investors around the world.

The full list will be published in a special report, a supplement within a weekday edition of the FT newspaper and on FT.com. The report will also include articles by FT journalists on interesting companies, sectors and trends within the sustainability field.

All companies that make it into the list may use the award logo for marketing purposes All participants who provide us with data on their GHG emissions and revenue will receive a free two-week Statista corporate subscription trial — regardless of whether or not they are among the companies listed in the ranking.

None Revenue of at least €40 m 36 m generated in 2020 None Must be independent ie the company applying to participate is not a subsidiary or a branch office of another company None Must be headquartered in Non-euro countries: currency value equivalent as of 31 12 2020.
