Specialized consulting for CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project) reporting

CDP reporting has become a global benchmark for climate transparency. It is used by companies that want to show investors, clients and partners that they manage their emissions and environmental risks responsibly. Every year, more than 23,000 organizations report through CDP to highlight their climate performance, decarbonization strategies and ESG progress. At ECONOS, we support companies worldwide in preparing and improving their CDP reporting, from emissions calculation to drafting the answers that can lead to a Leadership score.

What is CDP?

CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project) is a global non profit platform that collects and evaluates data about the climate impact of companies, cities and organizations. The goal is simple, to help business leaders measure, reduce and communicate transparently their greenhouse gas emissions, climate risks and sustainability actions. CDP evaluates companies based on transparency, performance and climate progress, offering a score from A (Leadership) to D minus or F (incomplete disclosure).

Why is CDP important for you?

A good CDP score means trust, credibility and access to green financing or strategic partnerships. CDP reporting is an opportunity to strengthen your market position and demonstrate your climate commitment. A strong CDP report helps you:

• Demonstrate transparency to clients and investors
• Attract green financing and qualify for sustainable funding
• Identify climate risks and opportunities for your business
• Meet international ESG requirements (CSRD, SBTi, EU Taxonomy)
• Benchmark your performance against other companies in your sector

Should my company report CDP?

CDP reporting is essential for:

Companies invited by investors: CDP is required by more than 750 institutional investors (managing over USD 130 trillion) who use CDP scores in their ESG investment decisions.

Companies invited by clients (Supply Chain): thousands of global corporations ask suppliers to report through CDP to manage their own Scope 3 emissions.

Organizations seeking to attract capital
: a high CDP score improves ESG ratings and access to sustainable financing (green loans).

Companies aiming for Sustainability Leadership: CDP offers a structured framework for science based targets (SBTi) and proactive climate risk management.

CDP scoring: from D minus to A (Leadership)

CDP evaluates and ranks companies on a scale from D minus to A. The score reflects the company’s maturity and progress in managing environmental risks:

  • CDP Score   -   Level   -   Description
  • A / A-    -    Leadership   -   Full transparency, robust reduction strategies, ambitious targets (often SBTi aligned), concrete actions.
  • B / B-    -   Management   -   Coherent and integrated environmental actions, but still requiring further development.
  • C / C-    -    Awareness   -   Basic awareness of environmental impact and initial data collection.
  • D / D-    -    Disclosure   -   Limited, basic information provided.
  • F    -   Failure to Provide   -   The company was invited but did not provide enough information for assessment.
