NORTHVILLE, Mich., June 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Cooper Standard (NYSE: CPS) has been named to USA TODAY's list of America's Best Climate Leaders 2024. This award is presented by USA TODAY and Statista Inc., the world-leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider. The awards list was announced on May 30 and can be viewed on usatoday.com.
"At Cooper Standard, we actively focus on improving our energy efficiency, reducing emissions and waste generation, and embracing our corporate role as stewards of the environment," said Jeffrey Edwards, chairman and CEO, Cooper Standard. "We are thrilled to be recognized for these efforts and will continue to evolve our sustainability programs and technology innovations to minimize environmental impacts and climate-associated risks."
The America's Climate Leaders of 2024 award is based on a two-step process. First is the application and research phase. Companies could be included on the list by applying online or by having the necessary data publicly available. To be considered for the award, a company must meet the following criteria:
- The company is headquartered in the USA.
- The company had revenue of at least $50 million in 2022.
- Independent emission reporting with data on Scope 1 and Scope 2 for the years 2020 and 2022.
- In case a CDP rating is available, the score had to be at least C.
- Broader environmental record (e.g. no oil exploration, non-GHG pollution, or deforestation).
The second step is the data analysis and scoring phase. For all companies meeting the inclusion criteria, the year-over-year reduction in emissions intensity (compound annual reduction rate) was calculated.
Cooper Standard actively contributes to the global transition to a low carbon economy. Through the evaluation and management of climate-related risks, the Company aims to strategically manage its environmental impact while promoting business innovation and resiliency. Cooper Standard's 2023 Corporate Responsibility Report, titled "Commitment to Excellence," discusses how the global supplier is committed to reducing its impact on the environment and taking action to manage climate risks, while also growing its business profitably.
