Canadian Pacific added to 2020 DJSI

“CP is always working to develop innovative, impactful ways to enhance the communities we serve and protect the environment,” said Keith Creel, CP President and Chief Executive Officer. “We have been a part of the North American landscape since 1881, and our commitment to people, the planet, safety and ethics is unwavering. I am proud that the DJSI has recognised the hard work and commitment of the entire CP family.”

In July 2020, CP released its first public statement on climate change. The statement acknowledges the effects of rising global temperatures and lays out CP's commitment to ongoing efforts to mitigate the impacts.

The statement supports the goals of the Paris Agreement and the Pan-Canadian Framework on Clean Growth and Climate Change, which seek to limit global temperature rise to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels.

“We congratulate CP for being included in the DJSI North America,” said Manjit Jus, Global Head of ESG Research and Data, S&P Global. “A DJSI distinction is a reflection of being a sustainability leader in your industry.”

CP has long focused on energy-saving initiatives as a core component of its sustainability practices. Since 1990, CP has improved its locomotive fuel efficiency by more than 40% through many different initiatives and programs designed to improve fuel economy and reduce air emissions. The application of leading practices, emerging tools and relationship building across the value chain and industrial sector will remain critical as CP addresses climate change challenges.
