CDL emerged as the top Singapore Corporation to be listed in Corporate Knights Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations 2012. Listed for the third consecutive year, CDL’s ranking improved from number 100 on the list in 2011 to number 62 this year. This accolade is a testament to CDL’s ongoing and concerted sustainability efforts over the years. It is also significant as it places Singapore on the global map for sustainability.

Launched in 2005 and led by the Toronto-based media firm Corporate Knights, the annual Global 100 is considered the most extensive corporate sustainability assessment in existence. Its purpose is to reinforce and raise awareness about the world’s leaders in clean capitalism, identifying top global firms most willing and adept to deal with key social and environmental factors they face in everyday operations. This year, Corporate Knights collaborated with three strategic partners (Inflection Point Capital Management, a sustainability-focused asset management venture, Legg Mason's Global Currents Investment Management as well as Phoenix Global Advisors LLC) to identify the highly coveted list of 100 Most Sustainable Corporations in the World. The Global 100 is announced each year at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Its key performance indicators include factors like productivity in energy, carbon, water and waste, employee turnover amongst others.
