Many congratulations to all the companies on this year’s A List. Taking the lead on environmental
transparency and action is one of the most important steps businesses can make, even more so in theyear of COP26 and the IPCC’s Sixth Assessment Report. The scale of the risk to businesses from climatechange, water insecurity and deforestation can no longer be ignored, and we know the opportunities ofaction far outweigh the risks of inaction. Leadership from the private sector is essential for securing global
ambitions for a net-zero, nature positive and equitable world. Our A List celebrates those companies whoare preparing themselves to excel in the economy of the future by taking action today.
