CDP Service

• Enhance Financing and Valuation Impact
  CDP scores are frequently referenced in climate-linked bonds, sustainability-linked loans, and other ESG financing tools.
• Respond to Regulatory Trends
  The CDP questionnaire is aligned with climate disclosure frameworks such as the EU CSRD, US SEC rules, and HKEX Climate Reporting Guidelines.
• Win Supply Chain Trust
  Leading brands like Apple and Nestlé require CDP disclosure as part of supplier qualification and bidding processes.
• Build ESG Governance Capacity
  The CDP feedback cycle helps companies structure internal GHG data systems, identify risks, and set reduction strategies.

CDP uses an online disclosure system (ORS), where companies respond to questions covering:

• Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions (in line with the GHG Protocol)
• Climate targets and transition strategies (e.g., SBTi)
• Risk identification and financial impact analysis (aligned with TCFD)
• Governance structure, management responsibility, and supply chain performance

DQS goes beyond submission support—we help you build scoring capability. Our strategic guidance includes:

• Disclosure Stage: Build data foundations and evidence trails; ensure completeness and correct formats.
• Awareness Stage: Identify climate risks, assign management responsibilities, and initiate target setting.
• Management Stage: Establish decarbonization plans and cross-functional governance with documented activities.
• Leadership Stage: Adopt SBTi targets, disclose full Scope 3 categories, and conduct scenario-based financial simulations.

CDP is applicable to various organizations, especially:

• Publicly listed companies or those preparing for IPO
• Entities subject to CSRD, SEC, or HKEX climate reporting rules
• Companies facing investor, rating agency, or customer ESG scrutiny
• Organizations seeking green financing or international supply chain access
