  • If you have multiple proposals or projects, please add more rows using the ‘Add Row’ function.
  • Note: Disclosers must check that the Requesting members presented in this table are correct for their organization for the reporting period.

Requesting member (column 1)

  • Select the relevant “Requesting member” that you have identified as a potential collaborator.
  • Note that only the customer you select in this column will be able to see the data relevant to them.
  • If you would like to collaborate with more than one customer on the same proposal or project, you should add one row per customer

Group type of project (column 2)

  • Select from the drop-down menu one of the options below to provide details of the grouping of the type of project you are proposing. This will allow CDP Supply Chain members to better categorize and understand the group of projects, and streamline their analysis.
  • If none of the options are suitable, select ‘Other category, please specify’, then select ‘Other, please specify’ for “Type of project” in column 3. You’ll be able to provide a label for your category and type of proposal or project in the column 8 (“Details of proposal”).

Emissions targeted (column 4)

  • Select from the drop down menu one of the options below to provide details as to where emissions reduction impacts are expected as a result of your proposal or project.
  • For example, if you are looking to reduce emissions from the transportation of goods or services, you might be proposing to undertake a combination of the following:

- Lightweight products or their packaging
- Use low-carbon fuels in vehicles
- Service providers may replace in-person meetings with video-conferencing
- Switch to lower-carbon forms of transport for staff to visit clients.

  • You can discuss your proposal or project in column 8 (“Details of proposal”).

Estimated timeframe for carbon reductions to be realized (column 5)

  • Select from the dropdown menu the most appropriate timeline within which you expect carbon reductions to be realized.

Estimated lifetime CO2e savings (column 6)

  • Specify the amount of tCO2e reductions you are associating with your customer.
  • If you are still in the early stages of proposing this opportunity, and you do not know the estimated CO2e savings, please leave this column blank.

Estimated payback (column 7)

  • Select from the drop-down menu the option that encompasses your estimated payback period for your proposal or project.
