ISLANDIA, N.Y., Oct. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- CA Technologies (Nasdaq:
CA) today announced that it was named a Maplecroft Climate
Innovation Index Leader. Developed by Maplecroft, a leading source
of global risk analysis, the Climate Innovation Indexes (CIIs) are
three indexes that rank the top 350 U.S. companies on their climate
innovation and carbon management programs. The Maplecroft CII
Leaders index recognizes the 100 top performing companies from the
Maplecroft CII Benchmark.
The CIIs identify companies that through new technologies,
market strategies, partnerships and other innovations are
positioning themselves to seize opportunities and deliver sustained
growth in a carbon-constrained future business environment. The
three indexes revealed a positive correlation between the financial
performance of companies and their ability to successfully
implement market innovations related to climate change.
"The CIIs are a valuable tool for investors looking to pick
winners, as they identify the most resilient, most innovative and
best positioned companies to gain competitive advantage in the new
low-carbon economy," stated Maplecroft's CEO, Professor
Alyson Warhurst.
"We are pleased to be recognized by Maplecroft as a top
performer in climate innovation and carbon management," said
Cynthia Curtis, head of
Sustainability, CA Technologies. "We've made some significant
strides in our goal to reduce our energy consumption and carbon
footprint through operational efficiencies and applying technology.
And, while this is a journey with a long term focus, our efforts
have been accelerated through collaboration with employees,
partners and customers, and through the use of our own energy,
carbon and sustainability management solution – CA
ecoSoftware."
The CIIs rate each company against 100 performance based
criteria. These criteria include the capacity to generate
innovative new technologies or initiatives that capitalize on
climate-related market opportunities; the management of climate
change through policies, disclosure, targets, verification and
supply chain processes; the mitigation of carbon emissions;
adaptation by modeling future climate impacts and changing company
operations and strategy; and reductions in overall GHG emissions.
This release is the first reweighting of the indexes, which were
initially launched on the BLOOMBERG PROFESSIONAL® service in
January 2010.
