CDP disclosure cycle 2019
Accessing questionnaire previews, reporting guidance, and scoring methodologies
CDP’s 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 not disclosing to that questionnaire for the first time, but with an annual revenue of less than EUR/US$250 million
Although any organizations meeting the above criteria may opt to complete a minimum version, they may not be eligible for scoring.
For more information on scoring eligibility and implications, please see Scoring Introduction.
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.
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.
Timeline:

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 over 525 institutional investor signatories with a combined US$96 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, with hundreds of companies from every economic sector and geography taking action to date.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, 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 We Mean Business can track progress against them via CDP’s annual disclosure requests.
For example – Report on your commitment to adopt a science-based emissions reduction target by answering to 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 the CDP’s questionnaires, please refer to the ‘Commit to Action Technical note’.
Climate change questionnaire developments
The CDP climate change questionnaire was redesigned in 2018 in response to market needs and the following developments were included:
- Integration of sector-specific questions
- Inclusion of the TCFD recommendations
- Increased emphasis on forward-looking metrics and improved alignment with other reporting frameworks
Sector approach
For climate change, CDP has incorporated sector-specific questions for 12 high-impact sectors. 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.
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.
2019 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)
Note for financial services sector companies:
Financial institutions can play a pivotal role in accelerating the transition to a low-carbon future. The TCFD recommendations highlight the importance of climate-related financial disclosures by this sector to enable stakeholders to better understand the concentrations of carbon-related assets in the financial sector and the financial system's exposures to climate-related risks. The supplemental guidance provided by the Task Force focuses on the importance of considering the impacts of climate-related issues in the context of their financial activities such as lending, financial intermediary, investment and/or insurance underwriting activities.
Financial services sector companies should respond to the CDP climate change questionnaire in the context of these activities, in addition to operational activities. Where necessary, specific guidance has been included to clarify the type of information banks, insurance companies and asset managers should consider in their response. For further information, a Technical Note on Financial Services will be made available.
Questionnaire changes in 2019
The questionnaire is stabilized for 2019 so there are no major changes. There are some minor revisions to reflect feedback and a correction of errors. There are no new sectors questions. Revisions and changes are indicated within the questionnaire as: "no change", "minor change" or "modified question". "Minor change" indicates wording edits and revisions to drop-down options or a simple clarification, while a "modified question" indicates that a data request has been revised.
A detailed document on climate change question changes from 2018 to 2019 is available on the CDP website.

Allocation challenges

Please explain what would help you overcome these challenges
|
Select from:
- Diversity of product lines makes accurately accounting for each product/product line cost ineffective
- Customer base is too large and diverse to accurately track emissions to the customer level
- Managing the different emission factors of diverse and numerous geographies makes calculating total footprint difficult
- Doing so would require we disclose business sensitive/proprietary information
- We face no challenges
- Other, please specify
