Get a B Score on CDP Without the $50k Consultant Bill

Point A

CDP questionnaires have 130+ questions requiring emissions data, governance details, risk assessments, and targets. Companies spend 200+ hours or $30-50k on consultants—and still average C scores.

Point B

NetNada auto-populates CDP responses from your existing emissions data. AI generates narrative answers matching CDP's scoring methodology. Our customers average B scores on first submission.

How It Works

From existing emissions data to submitted CDP response in 40 hours, not 200. Here's the workflow that gets you a B score.

1

Complete Emissions Inventory

Ensure your NetNada emissions data is up to date. CDP reporting year typically requires prior calendar year data. Scope 1, 2 (both methods), and Scope 3 categories should be complete.

2

Generate CDP Draft

One click creates your CDP Climate Change questionnaire draft. Quantitative answers auto-populated. AI generates first-draft narratives for governance, strategy, risk, and targets sections.

3

Review & Enhance Answers

Platform highlights questions where you're leaving points on the table. Suggests specific additions: 'Add board oversight frequency', 'Include financial impact estimate', 'Mention SBTi commitment'.

4

Score Prediction

Before submission, see predicted score based on response completeness and quality. Identify highest-impact improvements. Most customers can go from C→B with 2-3 targeted additions.

5

Export & Submit

Export in CDP's required XML format for direct upload. All evidence documents (calculation workbooks, methodology notes) organised for optional verification upload.

6

Track Year-on-Year Progress

Platform saves your response history. See how your score evolves. Identify which answers improved or declined. Build institutional knowledge for annual improvement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about this solution

What is CDP and why do companies disclose?
CDP (formerly Carbon Disclosure Project) is the world's largest environmental disclosure platform. Over 23,000 companies disclose annually. Companies disclose because: investors use CDP data (managing $130T in assets), customers require supplier disclosure, and CDP scores benchmark against peers. A good CDP score signals climate maturity.
When is the CDP reporting deadline?
CDP Climate Change questionnaire opens in April and closes in late July (exact date varies). Supply Chain module has additional customer-specific deadlines. We recommend starting in March to allow adequate review time. NetNada sends deadline reminders automatically.
What's a good CDP score?
Scores range from A (leadership) to D- (disclosure). Only 2% of companies achieve A. A/A- indicates climate leadership. B/B- shows strong management. C indicates awareness. D means disclosure only. Average score is C. NetNada customers average B on first submission.
Do I need to pay to disclose to CDP?
CDP disclosure is free if requested by investors. Voluntary 'self-selected' disclosure costs USD $1,250-$15,000 depending on company size. Supply Chain disclosure is free but requires customer request. NetNada's fee covers software and support—not CDP's fee.
What's the difference between CDP Climate Change and Supply Chain?
Climate Change: Full questionnaire for investor-requested disclosure. Comprehensive governance, strategy, risk, and emissions questions. Supply Chain: Subset of Climate Change focused on what customers need (emissions, targets, reduction activities). Companies may receive both requests.
How does CDP scoring work?
CDP scores on four levels: Disclosure (D), Awareness (C), Management (B), Leadership (A). Scoring considers: data completeness, quality/verification, awareness of climate issues, management actions, and leadership (best practice, innovation). Points deducted for inconsistencies or missing data.
Can I improve my CDP score year-on-year?
Yes, and it's expected. CDP assesses progress. Platform maintains response history and identifies where you improved or declined. Common score improvements: adding Scope 3 categories, setting SBTi targets, improving data verification, documenting risk management.
Does CDP score affect our cost of capital?
Increasingly yes. Investors managing $130T use CDP data. Studies show companies with strong CDP scores access cheaper debt and equity. BlackRock, State Street, and Australian Super all use CDP in investment decisions. Poor CDP performance raises climate risk concerns.
