About CDP’s scoring
CDP’s annual environmental disclosure and evaluation process is widely recognized as the gold standard of corporate environmental transparency. By encouraging major companies around the world to disclose information about their efforts to address environmental issues and evaluating them, CDP aims to improve engagement in environmental issues worldwide.
A detailed and independent methodology is used by CDP to assess companies, allocating a score of A to D-based on the comprehensiveness of their disclosures, awareness and management of environmental risks, and demonstration of best practices associated with environmental leadership, such as setting ambitious and meaningful targets. Companies that do not disclose or provide insufficient information are given an F.
