Juniper Sponsors Carbon Disclosure Project's 6th Report

Juniper Networks has said that it will sponsor and participate in the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), which launched its sixth report, CDP6, Monday in New York City.

CDP is a global standardized mechanism by which companies report their greenhouse gas emissions to institutional investors; it hosts one of the largest registries of corporate greenhouse gas data in the world at www.cdproject.net.

'Understanding and managing green house gas (GHG) emissions has become a business imperative that manifests itself in sustainability metrics and overall shareholder value,' said Paul Dickinson, CEO of CDP.

'Companies, such as Juniper, that take a proactive approach to addressing the issues of climate change within their business will find themselves well positioned to meet the needs of their stakeholders, from shareholders to employees.'

This marks the second year the high-performance network provider has sponsored the CDP launch and the third year it has voluntarily collected and submitted its green house gas emissions for worldwide reporting

Juniper said in a statement that it has realized both successes and challenges to managing its carbon footprint on a global basis. The company also said that it remains committed to helping its customers meet their own energy efficiency targets.
