2026-01- 13 - HL awarded HL achieves B score in CDP Climate Disclosure
We can now share our very first CDP score, and it’s a great one!
To achieve a B for climate change response is uncommon, especially in the first year, and we are very proud and grateful.
This shows that we have solid climate management practices in place and that we are actively working with emissions across all scopes.
The score is supported by strong results across several areas in our report, including A ratings for Energy, Scope 1 and 2 emissions, Scope 3 emissions, Targets, Risk and Opportunity disclosure, and Environmental Policies. More about our sustainability work.
About CDP :
CDP is a global, non-profit organisation that runs the world’s leading environmental disclosure system. Companies report through CDP to measure, manage and share their impact on climate change, water security and deforestation.
Disclosing through CDP is an important step for us at HL. It’s about being open, clear on where we stand, and continuing to move forward with our sustainability work.
