Lagos – Dangote Cement’s commitment to environmental disclosures and sustainability is yielding the desired results with Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) raising its rating from C to B- even as it proposes a dividend of N20 per share for the year ended December 31,2021.

The CDP is an international non-profit organization based in the United Kingdom which runs the global disclosure system for investors, companies, cities, states and regions to manage their environmental impacts.

CDP explained that it raised the rating as a result of the Company’s commitment to climate change.

” The upgrade clearly illustrates the progress made by Dangote Cement regarding commitment to transparency and mitigating its carbon dioxide footprint.

” This is one of the highest ratings in Sub-Saharan Africa and the only Nigeria company rated by CDP,” the statement said.
