Ford Motor Co., LG Corp. and Pernod Ricard SA joined the ranks of the top global companies that are best prepared for the effects of climate change.
They won the “A” grade last year for how aggressive they are setting and meeting carbon goals, as well as how forthcoming they are about their efforts, according to an analysis by nonprofit CDP. For instance, all three companies have made climate an issue with board-level oversight. Of 8,400 companies graded, they joined the 2% including Alphabet Inc., Walmart Inc. and Citigroup Inc. that have dominated the ranking, CDP said in a statement on Monday.
