WHERE ARE YOU IN YOUR CDP REPORTING JOURNEY? 

Feb. 27 2024

CDP reporting provides a framework for companies to measure, disclose and manage their environmental impact, against a backdrop of increased global pressure and focus on sustainable performance. 

April is fast approaching, when the CDP reporting platform opens once again for the 2024 reporting cycle. Some businesses are already getting ready to complete CDP questionnaires once again, while others will be preparing to navigate the process for the first time.

QUICK GUIDE TO CDP REPORTING COVERS

More than 23,000 disclosures were made last year, up 24% on 2022, and around 8,000 companies disclosed for the first time. With those figures expected to rise again in 2024, now is the time to start getting ahead.

If you’re new to CDP reporting and are unsure what it is, or whether your business should be taking action, our quick guide to CDP can help.

Support from sustainability experts

With a specialist team of experienced sustainability leaders, we act as a third-party specialist to guide clients through disclosure with a range of consultancy or verification services.

Whether you are new to CDP reporting or have submitted in the past, we can support in a few different ways:

If you are looking to improve your CDP reporting score or disclosing for the first time:

Our advisory and consultancy services are particularly valuable for those who are reporting for the first time, or companies that have seen their score decrease in recent years and need to look for areas of improvement. Our experts will work in partnership with your team to establish an effective framework to measure, monitor and disclose sustainability performance across your organisation. 

If you have already disclosed to CDP in previous years: 

We also offer gap analysis and verification services to help improve accuracy, boost your CDP score and provide confidence to stakeholders.

This includes independent verification of current data disclosed to CDP: an independent statement confirming that reported information is accurate and reliable, as well as a detailed analysis to assist organisations in driving improvements.

Crucially, independent verification by Bureau Veritas of data disclosed to CDP will increase your score as it helps meet additional scoring criteria. It provides a more robust data set on which to base target and gives more confidence to stakeholders about your data and your commitment to sustainability.

It is important to note that we can’t offer consultancy and verification services for the same client, to protect the integrity of our services.
