How are standards and assessments like FTI and CDP incorporated into scores?

If you are a large brand, you will need to answer questions about whether you disclosed to CDP Climate Change and CDP Water.

If this applies to you, you may see certain issues greyed-out, meaning you don’t need to answer them. Your scores for the greyed-out issues will instead be derived from your performance on those standards or assessments as follows:

If you disclose to CDP Climate Change, your scores for the following Issues will be derived from your grade:

• Climate Change Measurement
• Climate Change Reduction
• Climate Change Targets

For example, if you received an "A" grade, you will score 100% for all of the above issues. This means you won't need to answer questions in the above items and they will be greyed-out. 

If you disclose to CDP Water, your scores for the following Issues will be derived from your grade:

• Local Impact
• Stakeholders
• Water Targets
• Water Reduction
• Water Measurement
• Water Management

For example, if you received an "A" grade, you will score 100% for all of the above issues. This means you won't need to answer questions in the above items and they will be greyed-out. 

Note: the CDP Forest standard will be assessed for inclusion in an upcoming methodology review.
