CDP Releases Scores for 22,700 Companies as Disclosure Numbers Rise

ESG Broadcast Desk· 12 Dec 2024· 1 min read

CDP has released environmental performance scores for more than 22,700 companies following its 2024 disclosure cycle, with a significant increase in the number of responses eligible for scoring reflecting record levels of corporate disclosure participation. Companies scoring highly through CDP are increasingly using their ratings as tools for investor engagement, regulatory preparation, and market differentiation.

CDP's A-to-D- scoring system assesses companies across disclosure, awareness, management, and leadership, with A-list status reserved for organisations demonstrating exemplary strategy and implementation on science-based targets, climate transition plans, water risk strategies, and deforestation across operations and supply chains. This year's score release reflects an increase in eligible responses year-on-year, with global investors using CDP scores to monitor portfolios, assess investment decisions, and comply with regulatory and industry commitments.

New ASP additions in the latest update include EcoOnline, a Gold software provider trusted by over 10,000 brands, offering integrated EHS, chemical management, and ESG technology solutions; and Tokio Marine dR, a Silver Japan-based consultancy supporting clients on TCFD, TNFD, GHG calculation, and SBTi target setting with specific CDP guidance and response review services. Renewing partnerships include Deloitte, serving nearly 90% of the Fortune Global 500, and Wolters Kluwer, which provides integrated EHS, ESG, and GRC software solutions globally.

Additional renewing ASPs include Atrius (cloud-based sustainability reporting and energy management), Nasdaq Metrio (a purpose-built ESG reporting platform with cross-referenced metrics from multiple frameworks), and Minna Denryoku (Japan-based retail electricity supplier providing 100% traceable renewable electricity through blockchain-enabled tracking). As companies across Asia, Europe, and the Americas prepare for tightening disclosure requirements, the annual CDP score release serves as both a benchmarking event and an incentive for organisations to strengthen their environmental performance data ahead of the next disclosure cycle.
