What is inside

Most CDP responses are not lost on the data, they are lost in the step from what you already have to what the questionnaire asks. This checklist follows the 4 things the room named as their biggest blockers in our CDP Ask Me Anything: mapping data to the modules, getting the internal team aligned, gathering evidence, and quality-checking before you submit.

Who it is for: Sustainability managers, ESG leads and reporting teams preparing a CDP response, or tightening one after last cycle's score.
  • The 4 parts, with what done looks like at each one
  • What to map before anyone starts writing, and which questions to start first
  • What to hold next to every figure so a reviewer can follow it
  • How CDP scores in bands, and what each band asks for that the one below it does not
  • The question-by-question check to run from a scorer's perspective before you submit
