BAT has been recognised by CDP, the global environmental non-profit, for its leadership in corporate transparency and performance across climate change, forests and water security, securing a place on CDP’s prestigious annual ‘A’ List.
CDP operates an independent environmental disclosure system and assesses tens of thousands of companies each year. In 2025, nearly 20,000 companies were scored, out of more than 22,100 reporting through CDP’s platform. Achieving a ‘Triple A’ places BAT as a global leader demonstrating comprehensive disclosure, mature environmental governance, and meaningful progress towards environmental performance.
CDP’s scoring draws on a rigorous and independent methodology, aligned with the TCFD framework. It evaluates companies’ depth of reporting, understanding of environmental risks, and evidence of best practice - including ambitious target-setting and verified action. CDP maintains the world’s largest repository of environmental information and is widely relied on to guide environmentally conscious investment and procurement decisions.
According to CDP, in 2025, 640 investors with $127 trillion in assets asked them to collect data on environmental impacts, risks and opportunities.
Jonathan Upward, Chief Sustainability Officer BAT, said:
“We are proud to be on CDP’s A List to achieve a ‘Triple A’ score for our commitment to environmental transparency and action across climate change, forests and water security.
“A recognition testament to our commitment to environmental stewardship.
“We gather data and generate insights to better understand environmental risks and opportunities across our value chain, informing our actions to manage our environmental impacts and enhance business resiliency in a changing global landscape.”
Sherry Madera, CEO of CDP, said:
“Congratulations to all companies on CDP’s A List. Businesses earning an ‘A’ score are proving that environmental ambition and commercial strength go hand in hand. High quality data gives leaders the confidence to make earth-positive decisions that secure long-term competitiveness, attract capital and safeguard natural systems. These organisations show what is possible when transparency becomes the foundation for action.”
