A report issued last week compared 63 well-known companies for the efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, with some surprising results. Apple’s bad rating surprised me, for example. Few companies seem to be taking it seriously, though there are commendable and already well-known efforts from companies like WalMart.
Companies were scored based upon their performance in five areas: board of director oversight; management execution; public disclosure; emissions accounting; and strategic planning and performance. The detailed criteria are quite complicated, and the authors warn against comparing scores of companies in different sectors. Winners and losers in some of the sectors studied are as follows (all scores being out of 100):
· IBM with 79 vs. Apple with 28
· Tesco with 78 vs. CVS with 12
· Intel with 72 vs. Texas Instruments with 28
· Nike with 71 vs. Abercrombie and Fitch with 0
· Johnson and Johnson with 71 vs. Roche with 49
· WalMart with 69 vs. Bed Bath & Beyond with 10
· Coca-Cola with 65 vs. Anheuser Busch with 38
· L’Oreal with 54 vs. Estee lauder with 24
· Marriott with 53 vs. Las Vegas Sands with 7
· Starbucks with 52 vs. Burger King with 6
The report was commissioned by Ceres from RiskMetrics Group. For more information click here where you can also download the full 316-page report.

Yet another ethical conundrum! Do you buy from Tesco because they've done more than CVS (who they?)to tackle CO2 emissions? Or do you boycott Tesco because their food stores in China sell live turtles, lopping their heads off inexpertly and painfully?
A sobering thought - would we eat fish if they could scream as they get hauled out of the sea?
Another problem with Tesco. I've just discovered they're into tax avoidance - no wonder they're making such great profits!
