External evaluations

Barco is rated by several independent organizations on its sustainability performance. We actively participate in the following initiatives:

CDP, the former Carbon Disclosure Project, runs the global disclosure system that enables companies, cities, states and regions to measure and manage their environmental impacts. They have built a comprehensive global collection of self-reported environmental data. By scoring businesses from A to D, they take organizations on a journey from disclosure to awareness, management, and finally leadership, on several environmental topics such as climate change.

Every year, Barco measures and reports its carbon footprint to CDP, benchmarking its sustainability performance to peer groups suggested by CDP. We commit to the feedback program as organized by CPD and set up action plans to mitigate the risks and capitalize on the opportunities that CPD points out.
