The global non-profit environmental organization CDP upgraded the PPC Group by three notches, from “D” to “B-,” in the Water Security (Water Security), while maintaining a “B” rating in the Climate Change category. At the same time, the Group received an “A” rating in CDP’s Supplier Engagement Assessment (SEA). This international recognition reflects the Group’s active collaboration with its suppliers and the extent of their motivation and engagement on issues related to climate change and the reduction of indirect emissions in the value chain (Scope 3).
As noted in the relevant announcement, the PPC Group’s improved ratings from CDP reflect the Group’s continuous progress in integrating sustainability criteria into its strategy and operations, while simultaneously strengthening the confidence of investors and other stakeholders.
Maintaining a “B” rating in Climate Change confirms PPC Group’s consistency in enhancing the quality and completeness of its disclosures, within an assessment framework that becomes more demanding each year, with a growing number of companies in the sector participating in the CDP process.
At the same time, the significant three-tier upgrade in the Water Security category, from “D” to “B-,” reflects the Group’s progress in water resource management, its assessment of related risks and opportunities, as well as the systematic strengthening of monitoring and reporting procedures.
The inclusion of the PPC Group on the “A List” of the Supplier Engagement Assessment (Supplier Engagement Assessment – SEA) recognizes the systematic integration of sustainability criteria into supply chain management and collaboration with suppliers to reduce indirect emissions (Scope 3).
