The CDP A listing recognizes PACCAR’s achievement of emissions reduction and environmental practices
Every year, thousands of companies disclose data about their environmental impacts, risks, and opportunities to CDP for independent assessment against its scoring methodology. Reporting companies receive scores of A to D- for how effectively they are tackling climate change and other environmental issues.
“The CDP Climate Change A listing recognizes PACCAR’s achievement of emissions reduction goals and other responsible environmental practices. We are proud to be in the top 2% of the over 6,000 companies which report to CDP,” said Ron Armstrong, PACCAR chief executive officer.
