CDP disclosure cycle 2018
New for 2018: In response to market needs, CDP has developed questions specific to high-impact sector activities across its climate change, forests and water security programs. The 2018 questionnaires also include more forward-looking metrics, are further harmonized with other reporting frameworks, and include TCFD recommendations for climate-related disclosure.
Accessing questionnaire previews, reporting guidance, and scoring methodologies
CDP’s 2018 corporate questionnaire previews, reporting guidance, and scoring methodologies can be accessed by program (climate change, forests, and water security) from the guidance for companies page of CDP's website. You will be presented with three prompt screens that allow you to select the sectors and other details relevant to your organization. Questionnaires are valid for information requests from investors, as well as from customers that are members of CDP’s supply chain program. As there are sector-specific questions throughout the questionnaires, you might find that question numbers skip since not all questions will be applicable to your organization.
Responses to questionnaires are 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 detail. Note that while the questions themselves are the same in the questionnaire preview as they are in the ORS, the format may differ, particularly for drop-down options and tables.
Full and Minimum versions of the questionnaire
For all CDP questionnaires, there are two versions: minimum and full. The minimum version contains identical but fewer questions, and no sector-specific questions or data points.
- The minimum version of a questionnaire can by completed by:
- Organizations disclosing to that questionnaire for the first time; OR
- Organizations who are not disclosing to that questionnaire for the first time, but who have an annual revenue of less than EUR/US$250 million
- For previous responders with an annual revenue of less than EUR/US$250 million, CDP reserves the right to remove the option of a minimum version questionnaire due to the organization’s potential or existing environmental impact.
- Companies with an annual revenue of over EUR/US$250million that are disclosing for the first time and responding to the minimum version will not be eligible for scoring.
- Companies responding to the minimum version that have an annual revenue of less than EUR/US$250million will be eligible for scoring and will be scored using the minimum version of the methodology. They will not be eligible for the A list as the scores are not
comparable to scores resulting from the full version of the scoring methodology.
Note that companies eligible to complete the minimum version of a questionnaire can choose to answer the full version if they consider this to provide greater benefit to their organization or stakeholders. For more information on scoring eligibility and implications, please see Scoring Introduction 2018.

CDP climate change questionnaire
Introduction to CDP's climate change program and questionnaire
CDP works to reduce companies’ greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate climate change risk.
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 transforming 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.
We believe 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 658 institutional investor signatories with a combined US$87 trillion in assets.
Regulators have begun to respond to the risks, notably with 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 longstanding 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
CDP and its partners in the We Mean Business coalition have created a central platform for companies to take action on key climate issues. Hundreds of companies representing every economic sector and geography have taken action to date.
The leadership these companies demonstrated formed a critical part of the package of solutions reached in Paris at COP21 in 2015 and has continued to grow, now playing a critical role as the Paris Agreement moves from agreement to implementation. The We Mean Business “Take Action” platform gives companies a clear pathway for building the Paris Agreement into their business strategies and to future-proof growth, sending a strong signal that companies are making the transition to a low-carbon world and giving policy makers the confidence in raising their ambitions as governments prepare to ratchet up their national pledges in 2020.
Companies who have made commitments through one of more of the initiatives included on the We Mean Business platform can track progress against them via CDP’s annual disclosure requests.
Climate change questionnaire developments
The CDP climate change questionnaire has been redesigned in response to these market needs, highlighting a shift to more sectoral information, mainstream-ready reporting and disclosures that highlight a company’s own approach to the low-carbon economy. For 2018, this includes:
- Integration of sector-specific questions
- Inclusion of the TCFD recommendations
- Increased emphasis on forward-looking metrics and improved alignment with other reporting frameworks
Key changes include:
Governance
|
- Both board- level and management responsibility for climate-related issues
|
Risks and opportunities
|
- How risks and opportunities are identified, assessed and managed
- Consolidation of risk disclosures into one question (from three)
- Consolidation of opportunity disclosure into one question (from three)
|
Strategy
|
- Impacts of climate-related issues on strategy, financial planning, and businesses
- If scenario analysis is used to inform business strategy and details of the models, assumptions and types of scenario analysis performed
- Transition plans (high-impact sectors only)
|
Targets
|
- Aggregation of non-GHG emissions climate-related targets into a single question
|
Energy
|
- Revised energy question flow to focus breakdowns on only relevant energy use
|
Other climate-related metrics
|
- Ability to provide other metrics such as from waste, energy, land-use
|
Carbon pricing
|
- New question flow for carbon tax, emissions trading and/or internal carbon price use
|
A detailed document on climate change question changes from 2017 to 2018 is now available. Revisions and changes to questions are also indicated by the “Change
from 2017” row below each question, either as no change, a minor change, a
modification, or a new question. Minor changes indicate wording edits and revisions
to drop-down options, while a modification indicates where a new or revised
data point has been added or removed from an existing question.
Sector approach
For climate change, CDP has incorporated sector-specific questions for 12 sectors grouped within the following four clusters. The rationale for developing a refined questionnaire for each of these sectors is outlined in the relevant sector introduction. Companies with business activities outside of these sectors will receive a general questionnaire, as in previous years. Further sectors will be introduced in 2019.
Each question number in the climate change questionnaire begins with the letter C. Questions that are unique to companies in a particular sector are labeled using a two-letter abbreviation within the question number. These abbreviations are noted below.
2018 climate change sectors:
- Agriculture: Agriculture commodities (AC); Food, beverage & tobacco (FB); Paper & forestry (PF)
- Energy: Coal (CO); Electric utilities (EU); Oil & gas (OG)
- Materials: Cement (CE); Chemicals (CH); Metals & mining (MM); Steel (ST)
- Transport: Transport services (TS); Transport OEMs (TO)
