CDP’s 2017 Climate Change Information Request CDP works to reduce companies’ greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate climate change risk. In 2016, 827 investors with over US$100 trillion in assets backed CDP’s climate change information request. The following set of questions form CDP’s climate change information request. Companies are asked to answer these questions in the Online Response System (ORS) provided by CDP through its website. As such, this document is a representation of the request and whilst the questions will remain the same, the format may differ online particularly where drop down options and tables have been included for ease of response. Guidance is available on the CDP website from December 2016 which details all of the options available and provides screen shots of the ORS to aid companies in completing the request. We request a reply to the following questions by 29 June 2017. Please respond to the information request using our Online Response System (ORS). In early February 2017, instructions on how to access the ORS will be sent to you by e-mail. If you are unable to respond via the ORS, please e-mail [email protected]. In addition to investor signatories to the letter requesting your response which accompanies this request, you may also be asked to share your response with the members of CDP’s supply chain program if they are your customers. In this case, you will be notified by email in early April 2017 and asked for your approval for this. We encourage companies to consult CDP’s 2017 climate change reporting guidance and CDP’s 2017 climate change scoring methodology at www.cdp.net/guidance, as well as use the guidance within the ORS. Please answer the questions as comprehensively as possible. Where you do not have all of the information requested, please respond with what you have as this is more valuable to investors than no response at all. We encourage companies to assess the relevance of questions in accordance with the principles of “The Greenhouse Gas Protocol: A Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard (Revised Edition)” developed by the World Resources Institute and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (www.ghgprotocol.org). According to these principles, information is relevant if it contains the detail that users, both internal and external to the company, need for their decision- making. Where questions have been amended from 2016 to 2017, this is indicated next to the relevant questions. Sector-specific Question Modules and Instructions In addition to questions CC0-15 that follow, specific questions have been prepared for companies in the Electric Utilities, Auto and Auto Component Manufacture, Oil and Gas, Information and Communications Technology, and Food, Beverage and Tobacco sectors. This is part of a strategic move by CDP to a more sector based approach. These modules will be presented within the ORS and can be previewed on the CDP website. Companies with businesses in these sectors should answer questions CC1-15 for all businesses within their consolidated boundary and provide information specific to businesses in those sectors in answer to the additional questions.
