Every year, the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) evaluates companies based on their environmental performance and assigns scores ranging from A to D-, with A being the best score and D- being the worst.
We are also proud to announce that our CDP score has significantly improved, moving from a D- in 2021, D in 2022 to C in 2023 ✨.
CDP provides an essential analysis and reporting tool for sustainability-conscious companies. It allows them to voluntarily disclose their environmental practices, including their business strategy, governance, risks and opportunities, indicators, and commitment to stakeholders.
This rating brings credibility. CDP is an independent organization that measures companies’ environmental performance. It is recognized by investors, customers, NGOs, and governments as a global reference in environmental reporting.
Publishing our score demonstrates our commitment to transparency and our efforts in sustainability.
In addition to risk management, the rating assigned by CDP also offers significant innovation opportunities for companies. By assessing and rating companies’ environmental performances, CDP allows them to identify areas for improvement. These improvements can not only lead to better environmental performance but also significant impact reductions.
