Figure 1
The vertical axis is labeled with values ranging from 0.30 to 0.60 in increments of 0.05 units. The horizontal axis is labeled with years from 2012 to 2023 in increments of 1 year. The graph displays three plotted lines. A legend at the bottom indicates that the lines represent different categories. The first line represents “Median Level of Environmental Disclosure” and begins at (2012, 0.31), increases gradually to (2016, 0.39), remains steady, rises further to (2019, 0.45), continues upward to (2020, 0.49), dips slightly at (2021, 0.47), then increases sharply to end at (2023, 0.55). The second line represents “Median Corporate Carbon Performance” and begins at (2012, 0.43), declines slightly at (2013, 0.41), rises to (2014, 0.45), dips again at (2015, 0.42), then rises sharply to (2017, 0.53), dips at (2019, 0.50), climbs gradually, and ends at (2023, 0.56). The third line represents “Median Governance Level” and begins at (2012, 0.53), declines slightly to (2013, 0.52), rises sharply to peak at (2015, 0.56), declines gradually to (2017, 0.52), then rises again to (2020, 0.56), fluctuates slightly with a peak at (2021, 0.58), and ends at (2023, 0.55).
