Do you recognize these challenges?
You receive a CDP invitation from clients, investors, or banks.
The questionnaire feels complex, time-consuming, and technical.
Data is scattered across the organization, and you want to avoid contradictory or incomplete answers.

Then our targeted CDP guidance is what you need. Will you go that extra mile beyond your competitors?

5 steps to a strong CDP score
Registration and preparation
We help you create a company profile through CDP. You will receive a questionnaire tailored to your sector, activities, and company size.
Documentation and questionnaire
We gather all required documents (policy papers, certificates, KPIs) and strategically answer the questionnaire for a maximum score.
Submission and review
Before submission, we review all answers and documentation. We ensure everything is complete and optimally formulated for the best possible assessment.
Scorecard analysis
After 6 to 8 weeks, you'll receive your scorecard. We analyze the results and CDP feedback to understand your performance and identify any gaps.
Improvement plan and reassessment
We develop an action plan to address weaknesses and improve your score during a potential reassessment.
Why start with a CDP submission?
CDP is a globally recognized reporting framework that focuses on climate change, water security, deforestation, biodiversity, and plastics. With our in-depth knowledge, we help your organization achieve the strong score your customers demand.
No more stress during customer inquiries
Companies are increasingly facing questions about sustainability. A good CDP score builds customer trust for long-term partnerships.
Strong foundation for reporting
CDP provides a strong foundation for reporting under CSRD, VSME, or other ESG frameworks, and can help improve your EcoVadis score.
CDP score as a competitive advantage
Make your efforts visible. A good CDP score sends a powerful signal to customers, investors, and banks, and differentiates you from your competitors.
Internationally recognized standard
CDP is an internationally recognized standard that contributes to the credibility of your sustainability claims and instills confidence in your stakeholders.

On average, you can achieve a quality submission within 6 to 8 weeks – based on already available information and actions. Do you have a specific ambition in mind? Then that ambition will determine how long the process takes.
No, CDP is a voluntary initiative, but it is increasingly being stipulated commercially or even contractually, making it often mandatory in practice.
Yes, but both reinforce each other. Your EcoVadis score can also be significantly increased by undertaking commitments like CDP and SBTi.
The questionnaire is aligned with the main international standards, ensuring data and answers are comparable and yield an objective score. A CDP score provides a snapshot of your sustainability performance from D- to A.
Yes. We often revise existing submissions to improve the score.
