What CDP Carbon Disclosure Protocol requires
Adherence to the CDP Carbon Disclosure Protocol necessitates annual disclosure via the mandatory ORS portal submission following a minimum reporting period of twelve months. Organizations must quantify greenhouse gas inventories consistent with the WRI/WBCSD Greenhouse Gas Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard, which makes Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions reporting compulsory. Additionally, any material Scope 3 categories exceeding a collective materiality threshold of five percent must be included. The protocol demands robust governance; mandated board-level oversight for climate strategy is a foundational element, and required alignment ensures disclosures are structured around the core Recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures. This includes the required quantification of financial impacts from climate-related risks and opportunities. To earn a leadership score, as defined by the CDP Scoring Methodology, obtaining third-party assurance is an unconditional prerequisite for submitted data. The framework’s design enables Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) target integration, encouraging validation against the SBTi Corporate Net-Zero Standard. Comprehensive disclosure also involves required supply chain engagement tracking, providing transparency into value chain management practices that align with principles found within ISO 14064-1.
