BASILDON, United Kingdom, Nov. 5, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- CNH Industrial N.V. (NYSE: CNHI / MI: CNHI) further confirms its position among the global leading companies in climate change transparency. The company received a top disclosure score of 98 out of 100 in the CDP Italy Climate Disclosure Leadership Index (CDLI), which was released today through the CDP Italy 100 Climate Change Report 2014. This disclosure score adds to the A performance ranking it received last month in The CDP Climate Performance Leadership Index 2014.
CDP is an international, not-for-profit organisation, which works with market forces, including 767 institutional investors, to motivate companies to disclose their impacts on the environment and natural resources and take action to reduce them. CDP disclosure scores are provided to investors and other decision makers through various channels, including Bloomberg terminals. This assists these stakeholders in assessing the corporate preparedness for changing market demands and emissions regulation.
