CDP disclosure cycle 2021

Accessing questionnaire previews, reporting guidance, and scoring methodologies

CDP’s corporate questionnaire previews, reporting guidance, and scoring methodologies for climate change, forests and water security can be accessed from the guidance for companies page of CDP's website.

Submitting a response to the questionnaire(s)

Responses to questionnaires must be submitted via CDP's Online Response System (ORS), which is part of CDP's online disclosure platform. Please refer to Using CDP's Online Disclosure Platform for more details. Please note that while the questions themselves are the same in the questionnaire preview as they are in the ORS, the display format of some questions may differ, particularly for drop-down options and tables.

Sector-specific questions

Companies in high-impact sectors, in addition to the general questions, will be presented with questions specific to that sector. The rationale for developing a refined questionnaire for each of these sectors is outlined in the relevant sector introduction.

The sector-specific questions allocated to companies are defined by CDP's Activity Classification System (CDP-ACS). This system categorizes companies by focusing on the activities from which they derive revenue and associating these with the impacts to their business from climate change, water security and deforestation.

Please note that since each questionnaire includes sector-specific questions throughout, as not all questions will be applicable to your organization, some question numbers may skip.

Full and Minimum versions of the questionnaire

All organizations completing the climate change, forests and water security questionnaires are eligible to complete the full questionnaire.

In some cases, organizations may be eligible to complete a minimum version which contains fewer questions, and no sector-specific questions or data points. Organizations are eligible to complete the minimum version in the following circumstances:

- They are disclosing to that questionnaire for the first time; OR
- They are not disclosing to that questionnaire for the first time, but have an annual revenue of less than EUR/US $250 million*

Organizations opting to complete a minimum version will only be eligible for scoring if they are submitting a response to customers (CDP Supply chain members). For more information on scoring eligibility and implications, please see our Scoring Introduction.

* CDP reserves the right to remove the option of completing a minimum version questionnaire for previous responders to a questionnaire with an annual revenue of less than EUR/US$250 million, on the basis of the organization’s potential or existing environmental impact.

Introduction to CDP's climate change program and questionnaire

The 2015 Paris Agreement was a tipping point in the global approach to climate change. By agreeing to limit global temperature rises to well below 2°C, governments have committed to a transition to a low-carbon economy. This transition will create winners and losers within and across business sectors, as the manifestation of climate-related opportunities and risks accelerates in both size and scope. Business as usual will not be a good indicator of how companies will perform.

CDP believes that improving corporate awareness through measurement and disclosure is essential to the effective management of carbon and climate change risk. We request information on climate risks and low-carbon opportunities from the world’s largest companies on behalf of investors, customers, and policy makers.

Regulators have begun to respond to the risks, notably with the recommendations by the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). Established by the Financial Stability Board, the TCFD has moved the climate disclosure agenda forward by emphasizing the link between climate-related risk and financial stability. The Task Force has recommended that both companies and investors disclose climate change information. This includes whether they are conducting scenario analysis in line with a 2-degree pathway and then setting out how climate-related issues impact their strategy and financial planning. This amplifies the long-standing call from CDP’s investor signatories for companies to disclose comprehensive, comparable environmental data in their mainstream reports, driving climate-related risk management further into the boardroom.

Commit to Action

The CDP Commit to Action program is the accelerator of corporate ambition and action in CDP. It adopts a systemic approach to transition high-impact companies to a net-zero climate impact through initiatives like the Science Based Targets initiative and RE100. These and other leadership initiatives are included in the "Take Action" platform through which leading companies commit to bold climate action.

Companies that have joined the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), either through the standard commitment pathway or by joining the Business Ambition for 1.5°C campaign can report on that in the “Targets and performance” module of the CDP climate change questionnaire. Companies can report their commitment to adopt a science-based emissions reduction target and track their progress against already validated targets by answering C4.1 and C4.2 sub-questions in detail. For more specific information on each commitment and how companies can report on their progress in the relevant sections of CDP’s questionnaires, please refer to the ‘Commit to Action Technical Note’.

Climate change questionnaire structure

There are 14 modules in the general climate change questionnaire, including the Introduction and Signoff modules, plus a module presented only to organizations that are responding to a customer request from one or more CDP Supply Chain Members. The journey through CDP’s general climate change questionnaire includes the following:

  • Governance
  • Risks and opportunities
  • Business strategy
  • Targets and performance
  • Emissions methodology
  • Emissions data
  • Energy
  • Additional metrics
  • Verification
  • Carbon pricing
  • Engagement

Sector approach

The structure of the CDP climate change questionnaire was redesigned in 2018 in response to market needs and trends in corporate climate change reporting. Revisions included the inclusion of the TCFD recommendations, an increased emphasis on forward-looking metrics, improved alignment with other reporting frameworks, and the integration of sector-specific questions.

For climate change, CDP has incorporated sector-specific questions for 16 high-impact sectors.

Each question number in the climate change questionnaire begins with the letter C. Questions that are unique to companies in a particular sector are labelled using a two-letter abbreviation within the question number. These abbreviations are noted below.

2021 climate change sectors:

  • Agriculture: Agriculture commodities (AC); Food, beverage & tobacco (FB); Paper & forestry (PF)
  • Energy: Coal (CO); Electric utilities (EU); Oil & gas (OG)
  • Financial: Financial services (FS)
  • Materials: Cement (CE); Capital goods (CG); Chemicals (CH); Construction (CN); Metals & mining (MM); Real estate (RE); Steel (ST)
  • Transport: Transport services (TS); Transport OEMs (TO)

Climate change questionnaire changes in 2021

The questionnaire is stabilized for 2021 so there are only minimal changes reflecting feedback or error correction.

Revisions and changes are indicated for every question as: “no change”, “minor change”, “modified question”, “new question”, “modified guidance”, or “additional guidance”. “Minor change” indicates wording edits and revisions to drop-down options or a simple clarification, while a “modified question” indicates that the data requested has been revised.

Key changes include:

  • Two new questions C3.1a and C3.1b on low-carbon transition plans.
  • A new question C4.2c on net-zero targets.
  • Removed questions SC3.1 - SC3.2a on the CDP Action Exchange.
  • Modified questions: C4.1a and C4.1b on emissions targets; C8.2e on low-carbon energy sourcing.
  • 10 questions with modified guidance and 2 questions with additional guidance.

A detailed document on climate change question changes from 2020 to 2021 can be found on the Guidance page of the website.

These are the terms that apply when you submit a response to our Questionnaire to Investors. If you do not agree to these terms, please contact us at [email protected] to discuss them with us.


4.RESPONDING TO OUR QUESTIONNAIRE


General. When responding to our Questionnaire, you will be given a choice as to whether your response can be made public or whether your response is non-public. We strongly encourage you to make your response public.

Deadline for responding. You must submit your response to us using our online response system by the Deadline for your response to be eligible for scoring. If you submit your response after the Deadline but on or before 30 September 2021 (the date our online response system will close in 2021) it will not be scored and may not be included in any report, data product or other analysis.

Public responses. If you agree that your response can be made public, we may use and make it available as soon as it is received by CDP for all purposes that we decide (whether for a fee or otherwise), including, for example, making your response available on our website, to our investor signatories and other third parties and scoring your response.

Non-public responses. If your response is non-public, we may use it only as follows:

(a) make it available as soon as it is received by CDP to our investor signatories from time to time (as listed on our website) either directly or through Bloomberg terminals, for any use within their organizations but not for publication unless any data from your response has been anonymized or aggregated in such manner that it has the effect of being anonymized;

(b) make it available as soon as it is received by CDP to our group companies, companies we license to operate using the CDP name and brand (for example, CDP North America, Inc and CDP Europe AISBL), our country partners, research partners, report writers and scoring partners (each from time to time):

(i) to score your response; and

(ii) for any other use within their organizations but not for publication unless any data from your response has been anonymized or aggregated in such manner that it has the effect of being anonymized;

(c) as soon as your response is received by CDP, list your company on our website or otherwise make it known that your company has responded to our Questionnaire.

Amending your response. You may reopen a response you have submitted before the Deadline (28 July 2021). To do so you must notify us that you wish to reopen your response by 14 July 2021 and you must resubmit it by the Deadline for it to be eligible for scoring. If you choose not to submit your reopened response before the ORS closes for submissions (on 30 September 2021), your original submission will be stored within the disclosure system but no further processing will be undertaken, meaning that we will not use it and it will no longer be made available to our investor signatories or other third parties.

From 15 July 2021, amendments to submitted responses can only be made by our staff and at our discretion and we may charge a fee for making them. Most such amendments to your response will be made from 4 October 2021 at the earliest. Please note that the final date for requesting an amendment is 30 November 2021 and any changes you request to your submitted response from 15 July 2021 may not be reflected in any score, report, data product or other analysis or use of your response. Please email [email protected] for more information about amending your response.

Please contact your local CDP office for information about scoring if you intend to submit your response in a language other than English.

Scoring of responses to the Minimum Version (of the Questionnaire). Responses to the Minimum Version will only be scored in certain circumstances. Please contact your local CDP office for further information.

Publication and use of scores. If you are responding to a CDP Climate Change Questionnaire for the first time you may choose for your score to be “private” but in all other cases CDP may publish your score, and use and make it available for all purposes that we decide (whether for a fee or otherwise), regardless of whether your response is public or non-public. If you choose for your score to be “private”, unless you achieve an A grade in which case we may make your score public, we may only make it available to our group companies, companies we license to operate using the CDP name and brand, our country partners, research partners, report writers and scoring partners (each from time to time), in each case for any use within their organizations but not for publication. Note that if you also submit your response to Supply Chain Members it will also be available to any Supply Chain Member that has asked you to respond to the Questionnaire.
