On 9 June CDP released its latest research covering the cement industry. The report features 12 of the largest publicly held global cement companies who disclose to CDP and ranks them in a league table based on climate-related metrics which in aggregate could impact their financial performance. 

The key findings are:

• A large disparity between cement companies' carbon intensities. 
• Significant company earnings would be at risk from stricter carbon pricing regulatory regimes. 
• The industry will require stronger targets and increased R&D resources to align with a low-carbon economy.
