Synergies: Climate Change, Water Security, and Forests
Sustainability is an evolving landscape, and the CDP questionnaire has evolved with it. In this upcoming webinar, learn about what changes to expect in 2021 and how to use similarities between the three disclosure types to your advantage. Our team of experts will also cover examples of where these responses cross over.
In what areas can you take advantage of these cross-response synergies?
Risks and Opportunities. All questionnaires address the risks and opportunities relevant to your organization, including financial impacts, mitigation, and your company’s corresponding plan of action. Risks and opportunities often overlap. For example, a reputational risk due to changes in consumer behavior may apply for Climate Change, Water Security, and Forests.
Board-level Engagement. All CDP questionnaires discuss the level of engagement the board and C-suite has with these environmental issues. Maximize your score by incorporating sustainability targets as a part of board and C-suite targets, providing incentives for achieving ESG goals, and reporting on sustainability more frequently.
Value Chain Engagement. To fully understand your own impacts, you need to work with your suppliers on climate change, water security, and forests issues. Be sure to identify who you engage with and how you engage with them, as well as the scope, rationale, and impact of your engagement.
Company-specific Descriptions. Providing information that is unique to your organization—including specific examples and case studies—is important in each questionnaire. Our experts will discuss how you can implement the STAR method in helping to meet CDP’s criteria.
