CDP, formerly the Carbon Disclosure Project, is a global non-profit that runs an environmental disclosure system where companies report on climate, water and forests and receive a score.
CDP is an international non-profit organization, originally called the Carbon Disclosure Project, that operates a global system for companies, cities and governments to disclose environmental data. Companies respond to an annual questionnaire, often at the request of investors or major customers, and receive a score that is shared with those requesters.
CDP now uses an integrated questionnaire and aligns its climate questions with IFRS S2 under the ISSB standards.
Scores range from A (leadership) through B (management) and C (awareness) to D (disclosure). Companies that are asked to respond but do not are given an F.
A tier-one supplier to an automotive manufacturer received a CDP supply chain request. It used its GHG Protocol inventory, energy data and climate risk register to respond and earned a B score, which the customer used in its supplier scorecard.
No, but customers and investors may expect it, and not responding can affect supplier ratings.
It lets large buyers request environmental data from their suppliers through CDP, helping them measure Scope 3 emissions.
CDP charges an administrative fee for many responding companies. Check CDP's current fee policy.
