NORTHVILLE, Mich.—Cooper-Standard's pledge to lead on sustainability received another stamp of approval. The company is included on USA Today's list of America's Best Climate Leaders 2024.
To earn the designation, companies on the list first met the following criteria:
- Is headquartered in the USA.
- Had revenue of at least $50 million in 2022.
- Received independent emission reporting with data on Scope 1 and Scope 2 for the years 2020 and 2022.
- In case a CDP rating is available, the score had to be at least C.
- A strong environmental record (e.g. no oil exploration, non-GHG pollution, or deforestation).
Companies apply for inclusion with USA Today and its partner, Statista Inc., which evaluates applicants against the inclusion criteria and provides a score after calculating the year-over-year reduction in emissions intensity (compound annual reduction rate).
"At Cooper Standard, we actively focus on improving our energy efficiency, reducing emissions and waste generation, and embracing our corporate role as stewards of the environment," company Chairman and CEO Jeffrey Edwards said in a statement. "We are thrilled to be recognized for these efforts and will continue to evolve our sustainability programs and technology innovations to minimize environmental impacts and climate-associated risks."
