CDP Reporting

To disclose to CDP, you need to complete a questionnaire through CDP’s online response system. The process involves providing detailed information about your environmental practices, such as how you manage climate risks, measure emissions, and set sustainability targets.

If you’re looking to improve transparency, attract sustainability-focused investors, benchmark your environmental performance, or prepare for future regulations, CDP is a strong choice. It’s especially valuable for companies aiming to show leadership in climate action. If you still aren’t sure whether it’s right for you, we’re happy to listen and suggest what’s a good fit for your organisations goals.

You may have been asked by a customer, investor, or financial institution that wants more visibility into your environmental practices. Many large organisations use CDP to assess the climate performance of their supply chains and investment portfolios. Being asked is a signal that stakeholders view environmental responsibility as a priority, so it’s a chance for your company to show where it stands.

An SSC is a self-selected company. These are companies that have voluntarily chosen to disclose to CDP.

CDP scores your responses using letters A-D. The first level awarded is D: Disclosure (D- and D)

Companies who get a D rating might be reporting environmental matters, but haven’t analysed or set targets to improve. 

Level 2 is Awareness – Scores C- and C

This is about checking the link between environmental issues and business activities. So a company might recognise that they have a responsibility to consider water scarcity. However, they haven’t yet committed to any action. 

Level 3 is Management – Scores B- and B

This shows a company understands and is managing its environmental impact. They are likely to have set environmental targets and have clear actions. 

Level 4 is Leadership – Scores A- and A

This is the hardest score to achieve. These companies are demonstrating best practice and strategic action. A company has made a public commitment and is acting to make progress.
