Following a successful pilot last year, CDP is delighted to launch its SME questionnaire, a dedicated questionnaire for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises. With SMEs accounting for approximately 50% of global emissions and 90% of global business, supplier engagement from an ESG perspective is an area many companies are focusing on. It is therefore increasingly important that SMEs are equipped with the knowledge, tools and resources they need to disclose and accelerate their environmental action.
Disclosing through CDP as an SME will provide new opportunities for sustainable supply chain growth and long-term business viability. The questionnaire incentivizes those who haven’t done so to get started with their disclosure journeys and to report against key metrics in order to provide insightful data to key stakeholders.
With the expansion of the ASP program, organizations disclosing through CDP will find it easier to find tailored support from among our network of accredited solutions providers.
This month, we are excited to announce that the following companies have come on board as Accredited Solutions Providers:
