CDP general guidance and scoring methodology now available online

Guidance and scoring methodology covers all questions for CDP’s climate change, water and forest programmes

Where can I find out more about the CDP guidance and scoring methodology?

CDP has released the guidance and scoring methodology for all questions, including general and sector-specific, across its climate change, water and forests questionnaires. 

These are available on the guidance page of the CDP website, and can be exported as PDFs for ease of use. They are also available via the guidance tool viewable when you log into your account on the CDP website.

Additionally, more detailed guidance, containing a glossary of terms and example responses, will become available later in April and May. As always, Ecometrica will keep you updated when this additional guidance becomes available.

What role does Ecometrica play?

Of course, Ecometrica works year-round to ensure data quality and reported data is robust and flexible enough to meet the needs of a variety of environmental and sustainability reporting needs.

As CDP’s only Gold Software Partner for Climate Change, Water and Forests, we’re already working on behalf of our clients to ensure their CDP submissions are complete, timely and as pain free as possible. Our Gold Partner status means that Ecometrica is ideally positioned to assist with reporting across all programmes and with the coming changes to disclosures in 2018.

We offer consulting support for the qualitative elements of CDP and related reporting schemes. We act as an expert third party to review your disclosure before submission, a service designed to improve completeness of disclosure and review the quality of reporting, resulting in a higher CDP score and ranking.
