Your customer wants you to disclose to CDP. We’ll run the submission.
CDP climate, water, and forest disclosures, managed end to end. We handle the questionnaire, build the evidence, structure your responses, and run the submission. You stay focused on the business.
If you’ve been asked to disclose to CDP, here’s what that means.
CDP is the world’s largest environmental disclosure platform. More than two-thirds of global market capitalization now discloses through it. Your customer is asking because their own CDP submissions handled end to end depends partly on yours, particularly their Supply Chain program score, which evaluates how engaged their suppliers are on climate.
CDP responses are graded A through F. A leaderboard is published. Procurement teams use it to filter suppliers. A non-response or a D-/F can pull you from preferred-supplier status, and unlike EcoVadis, the result is fully public.
The questionnaire is long. The technical bar is high. We handle both.
A defensible CDP submission starts with carbon accounting, the GHG inventory underpins every climate question. CDP scores reward verified science-based targets, our SBTi target-setting service helps you get there.
From questionnaire receipt to public score.
CDP runs on a calendar. The portal opens in April. Submissions are due by July or September depending on your program. We work that calendar with you.
We map your CDP requirements
Climate change, water security, and/or forests, based on what your customers requested and what makes business sense. We assess what you have, what you need, and what’s realistic for this cycle.
We compile the evidence
CDP wants specific governance, risk assessment, target, and emissions data, formatted exactly to their methodology. We pull from your systems, structure it correctly, and draft each response.
We run the submission
We file in the CDP portal, respond to any clarifications, and analyze your scorecard when it lands. Your score, your improvement plan, and your next cycle prep, all handled.
CDP felt impossible until we engaged Greenplaces. They knew exactly what the scorers were looking for and translated our existing program into the language CDP rewards. We went from no submission to a B in one cycle.
The data foundation feeds everything else.
The emissions inventory, governance documentation, and risk assessment built for CDP are the same things EcoVadis evaluates, SBTi requires, and California SB 253 will demand. One foundation, many outputs.

What people ask us first.
When is the CDP deadline?
The portal typically opens in late April. Supply Chain program submissions are due by July, public submissions by mid-September. We recommend engaging by March at the latest for a clean first-cycle submission.
Do we have to disclose publicly?
It depends on the program. Supply Chain submissions are shared only with the requesting customer. Public submissions go on cdp.net with a published score. Most customers can stay private if they want, though investor-driven asks often require public disclosure.
Does CDP data work for EcoVadis too?
Yes. EcoVadis accredited CDP as a Gold Solution Provider, the data you build for CDP can be reused for the EcoVadis Environment theme. We build once, deploy to both.
We’ve never done a GHG inventory. Is that a problem?
No, we build it as part of the engagement. Most of our first-cycle customers don’t have a complete inventory when we start. We use our software to pull emissions data from your financial systems and supplier records, then structure it to GHG Protocol.
