CDP Disclosure Score

Social & organisational

The company responded to CDP's annual questionnaire for a stated theme (climate change, water security, or forests) and received a letter grade from A to D- reflecting the completeness of its disclosure and the quality of its environmental management for that theme and reporting year.

You might see it written as: Carbon Disclosure Project · CDP Score · CDP A List · CDP Climate Change Score · CDP Disclosure · CDP Rating

Issued by: CDP (formerly the Carbon Disclosure Project)

This entry is in review — facts are authored but not yet verified against current issuer documentation.

What it proves

The company responded to CDP's annual questionnaire for a stated theme (climate change, water security, or forests) and received a letter grade from A to D- reflecting the completeness of its disclosure and the quality of its environmental management for that theme and reporting year.

What it does not prove

  • Low absolute emissions or strong environmental performance — the grade primarily rewards disclosure completeness and management practices.
  • Anything about specific products or materials.
  • Coverage of themes not scored — a climate A grade says nothing about water or forests.
  • Currency beyond the scored year — grades are re-issued annually.

Should state
Company Name · Questionnaire Theme · Score Grade · Reporting Year
Date sensitivity
Expiry matters — check the certificate is current.

Always state the theme and year — 'CDP A List' without them is unverifiable.

An F indicates failure to respond when requested, not measured poor performance.
