Carbon Disclosure Project Report 2011 — Asia ex-Japan
On behalf of 551 investors with assets of US$71 trillion, this year CDP sees a steady response rate at 27% in the Asia ex-Japan region. CDP responders in Asia ex-Japan expressed not only a distinct preference for emissions trading schemes, but also expect that this type of regulatory regime will be implemented across the region within the next one to five years. In many cases, responders even expressed an acute need for regulatory certainty so that they can ready themselves in the most cost effective way for the anticipated changes, whether this be a carbon tax regime or emissions trading.

Carbon Disclosure Project Report 2010 — Asia ex-Japan
The response in 2010 has been significant for Asia ex-Japan. There is an overall increase in the number of companies responding, up to 190 across the whole region, primarily led by Korea, which has the highest number of responses at 88. Overall though, it is a year of consolidation and differentiation, as responding companies across the region significantly increased the quantity and quality of data, widening the leadership gap between them and non-responding companies. The lack of agreement on policy direction from Copenhagen also provides a defining theme for this year, with more emphasis on bottom-up policy development at the national level. Whilst a number of countries across the region are beginning to talk more actively about their range of policy initiatives, roadmaps still remain uncertain.

Carbon Disclosure Project Report 2009 — Asia ex-Japan
The report provides an overview of the CDP Asia ex-Japan findings. The number of reporting companies has more than doubled this year and the quality and materiality of responses has continued to improve. Of particular note, a significantly wider range of operation data and metrics were provided than previous years and the responses provide a wide range of valuable information and insights for investors.

Carbon Disclosure Project Report 2008 — Asia ex-Japan
Key points to be discussed at the 2008 report are:

1. Improved response rate in 2008 with important new responses from leading Taiwan electronic supply companies
2. Climate change weather effects a growing risk for Asian companies; and
3. Many Asian companies are waiting for government guidance on climate change policies
   

Carbon Disclosure Project Report 2007 — Asia ex-Japan
ASrIA's analysis of CDP5 2007 finds that leading Asian listed companies are disclosing new and more sophisticated business responses to climate change and carbon emissions challenges. Key trends of interest to investors show how a select group of Asian corporations are now positioned as the first wave of Asian companies with expertise in managing carbon emissions.

ASrIA's CDP work is based on an information request which was sent to a sample of 166 companies based on market capitalization covering ten Asian countries. CDP5 includes responses from 44 Asia ex-Japan companies.

Carbon Disclosure Project Report 2006 — Asia ex-Japan
Launched in December 2000, the CDP has invited institutional investors over four consecutive years (2003 - 2006) to collectively sign a single global request for disclosure of information regarding greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In doing so it has created one of the largest ever collaborations of global institutional investment capital - at $31.5 trillion of assets under management for CDP4 in 2006. The information requests have historically been sent to some of the largest global companies by market capitalisation.

ASrIA's CDP work aims to begin the process of filling this information gap by mapping the profile of carbon disclosure in the Asia Pacific Region. This report examines the disclosures from 125 Asian companies covering nine countries: China including Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan and Thailand. As a result, this year marks the first time that Asian investors have a representative sample of responses to evaluate on climate change fundamentals. This makes it possible to begin tracking important global sector comparisons and to assess different Asian country level trends.
