CDP

The Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) is a non-profit organization that annually evaluates companies on their commitment to climate change, water use and deforestation using standardized questionnaires. The questionnaires are aligned with the TCFD recommendations, assessing the following sub-areas:

- D: Disclosure (completeness of disclosure)

- C: Awareness (of environmental risks)

- B: Management (of environmental risks)

- A: Leadership (in the environmental sector)

The answers are summarized into an overall score, the CDP rating, from A to D–. This CDP rating is a valuable benchmark for objectively evaluating and comparing companies and is therefore often published.
