Environmental risk management
QBE is a signatory to the Carbon Disclosure Project ("CDP"), accounting for 551 signatories with a combined asset base of $71 trillion*. Each year the CDP secretariat issues a questionnaire to the world's largest companies by market capitalisation, to identify the views of company management on the risks and opportunities associated with climate change, an assesment of greenhouse gas emissions, accounting and corporate governance, with regards to climate change.
Over 3,000 organisations in some 60 countries around the world now measure and disclose their greenhouse gas emissions, water management and climate change strategies though CDP, in order that they can set reduction targets and make performance improvements. QBE Group's response to the latest CDP questionnaire, CDP2011 is available below.
