CDP Reporting

SCS Consulting Services’ CDP Consulting helps clients streamline and strengthen their annual CDP disclosures. The service options include:

• Scope 1, 2, and 3 greenhouse gas emissions inventories
• A comprehensive water inventory (withdrawals, discharges, consumption, recycling)
• CDP scoring estimates and year-end score improvement strategy
• Data collection and narrative development
• Submission support and post-reporting analysis

SCS Consulting Services leads, manages, and coordinates the entire process on your behalf, logging into the CDP Portal to upload your responses and submit the final report. Or we can follow your lead, focusing on improving your submission responses to maximize your score, all while ensuring alignment with CDP’s scoring methodology and global ESG frameworks like IFRS S2 and TCFD. 

This service is ideal for:

• Any company responsible for reporting to CDP (including small- to medium-sized enterprises), whether you’re fulfilling a supplier engagement assessment or voluntarily reporting to CDP  
• Sustainability, compliance, and enterprise risk management (ERM) teams
• Organizations seeking to improve ESG scores and disclosures

We serve all industries — companies in finance, insurance, manufacturing, technology, retail, consumer packaged goods (CPG), and any sector impacted by climate-related regulations or investor expectations. This service is particularly useful for companies within supply chains that require CDP reporting of Scope 1 and 2 emissions. 

Clients typically see:

• Improved CDP scores
• More efficient reporting processes
• Stronger response narratives
• Better alignment with regulatory frameworks

SCS Consulting Services helps transform CDP from a compliance task into a strategic ESG communication tool.
