CDP is one of the world's largest environmental information disclosure platforms. Focusing on the three areas of climate change, water and forests, the company collects data and information in related fields through an online questionnaire system. By the end of 2021, CDP has more than 200 supply chain partners and more than 600 institutional partners worldwide. In 2021, more than 13,000 companies disclosed climate change information through CDP, and more than 1,000 cities and regions disclosed climate change information through CDP.

CDP offers questionnaires on three topics to cover a wide range of environmental and climate issues. These categories include greenhouse gas emissions, water management, supply chain sustainability, forest conservation and more. Participants can choose the appropriate questionnaire according to their own business characteristics and areas of concern. By filling out the questionnaire, participants were able to understand their own environmental and climate performance and develop measures to improve it.

1. Frequency of filling in the three questionnaires: climate > Water > Forest

2. Companies may be invited to fill in one of the topics, or to be invited to other topics at the same time.

3. When the enterprise is not invited by the customer or the investment institution, the enterprise can use “ self-selected company ” How to apply for disclosure

As a provider of high-quality data and information, it is extremely important for CDP to remain independent and impartial

Scoring is conducted by CDP's partner agencies/organizations and all scores are strictly checked to ensure the quality of the scores.

CDP's methodology is the same for the same industry in different countries - to perform the same actions, to provide the same information.

Transparent: The complete application guide, scoring methodology, and online training are available on the official website.

Public scores are published on CDP's website and reports, Bloomberg Terminal, Google Finance and Deutsche Borse, and shared with direct investors.

The CDP score is divided into four levels, which represent the process of improving the enterprise's environmental management work, including:

1. Disclosure level: Each cell in the questionnaire is configured with a disclosure level score point, which is designed to assess the completeness of the disclosure content of the enterprise.

2. Cognitive level: Cognitive level measures the comprehensiveness of a company's assessment of the interaction between environmental issues and its business, such as whether it evaluates the interaction between business activities and the environment, and the degree of environmental related business risks faced by the company.

3, Management level: Management level means that the company has assessed a wide range of environmental problems, taken action to address the environmental problems after assessment, and provided action evidence of good environmental management.

4. Leadership Level: The leadership level represents the strength of the company's proposed actions to meet the best practices developed by the organizations working with CDP to advance environmental management (e.g. CEO Water Management Initiative, CERES, WWF), as well as a thorough understanding of environmental risk opportunities and the development and implementation of strategies to mitigate or capitalize on these risk opportunities.
