Convergint’s UK team announced that it has furthered its commitment to environmental transparency by disclosing its environmental impact through CDP, a global non-profit that runs the world’s leading environmental disclosure platform. Convergint UK has disclosed through CDP since 2017.
“Climate change poses a present and future risk to companies and their supply chains. Only by measuring environmental risks and opportunities can companies manage them now, prepare for the future and remain competitive—especially as large mainstream investors and policymakers increasingly push for greater transparency through disclosure. By disclosing their environmental impact through CDP, Convergint UK has taken an important first step. I look forward to their continued dedication to transparency and effort in securing a sustainable 1.5 degree future.”
~Sonya Bhonsle, Global Head of Value Chains, CDP
“‘We are fully committed to becoming a net zero emissions company within the next 5 years. Disclosing through CDP has helped us ensure complete transparency and understand our environmental risks and usages, enabling us to set meaningful objectives and targets.“
~Steve Dorking, Managing Director, Convergint
