CDP's Role and Importance
CDP operates the leading environmental disclosure system, assessing over 23,100 companies, cities, states, and regions in 2025. CDP scores evaluate how well entities understand and manage their environmental impacts, focusing on disclosure, awareness, management, and leadership.
Criteria for High Scores
High CDP scores are based on several criteria, including science-based emissions reduction targets, transparent reporting of emissions, and integration of climate risks into governance. For forests, criteria include deforestation-free commitments and sustainable management practices. Water-related criteria involve basin-level risk assessments and governance of water issues.
Global Framework Alignment
High scores indicate alignment with global frameworks such as the Paris Agreement, the Science Based Targets initiative, and the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures. This alignment reflects strong governance, ambitious targets, and credible action plans.
