What is CDP about?
Since its foundation in 2000 the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) became an authority for environmental reporting and rating. CDP’s database is today the biggest in this class and stores data and information of corporations and their CO2 emissions, climate risks and corporate reduction strategies worldwide. CDP ratings are incorporated in financial ratings as on the Deutsche Börse, Reuters or Google Finance.
What is being scored?
The CDP survey on climate change evaluates four aspects of sustainable economies:
- Judgements of management about risks and chances related to climate change
- Systematic collection and calculation of CO2 emissions (Carbon Accounting)
- Management strategies for reduction of CO2 emissions, risk management and potentials
- Corporate Governance for climate change
Supply Chain integration?
Some companies are asked by their investors to take part in the CDP, while others are asked by their customers through the Supply Chain module. Some companies can answer both if they are asked by investors and customers. The contents of the Supply Chain module contain the Core questionnaire (same contents as for the Investor request) and specific questions for the supply chain. More than 115 organizations request 11,5000 suppliers to take part in the CDP questionnaire.
