CDP recognizes manufacturing leader's
transparent reporting, consistent improvement
SPARTANBURG, S.C., March 28,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Global diversified manufacturing
leader Milliken & Company today announced that it received an
A- rating in the climate change category of the 2023 CDP, a
comprehensive environmental disclosure platform.
Milliken's 2023 CDP climate disclosure rating was based on the
company's leadership in transparent reporting, demonstrated
strategy and action, and science-based net-zero targets. Each year,
CDP uses information supplied through a questionnaire process to
evaluate companies' environmental stewardship practices.
"We are honored to receive this recognition from CDP, which
affirms our commitment to coordinated climate action," said
Halsey Cook, president and chief
executive officer at Milliken. "I am proud of our team's
achievement as we continue to drive sustainability initiatives
forward."
With a goal of becoming net-zero by 2050, Milliken has reported
climate action data to CDP since 2010, and in 2022 was one of the
first 50 companies in the world to have science-based short- and
long-term targets approved by the U.N.-backed Science Based Targets
initiative (SBTi). The company recently surpassed its 2025
greenhouse gas reduction goal, exceeding the 25% intensity
reduction target set in 2018.
"Milliken understands the importance of driving sustainable
change and we are proud of the progress we have made so far," said
Kasel Knight, senior vice president,
general counsel and head of sustainability at Milliken. "While
celebrating this achievement, we remain steadfast in our commitment
to reduce our carbon emissions."
Each year, Milliken publishes progress updates on their 2025
people, product, planet, and net-zero goals. To learn more about
