All companies will report their non-financial performance in
a credible, concise, comparable and compelling way
to start shifting investor and consumer behaviour
in pursuit of a prosperous future for all
Our Long-term Vision

Our Mission is to Answer Two Questions…
How would we know a truly sustainable
company if we saw one?
How can we tell how far away a company
is now from where it needs to be?

We Need to Answer these Questions Fast…

In a sustainable society,

• Align everyone on
what matters and test
core business model
for weaknesses
• Create a credible
leadership platform
• Prioritise actions
to close future-fit
performance gaps
• Simplify reporting:
focus on the gaps
and what you’re
doing to close them
For Companies...
For Others…
• Raters can measure
required practice,
not best practice
• Consultants can
push clients to be
more ambitious
• Policy makers can
design more effective
regulations
For Investors...
• Incorporate
future-fit metrics
into decision-making
processes
- ‘3D Investing’
• Steer capital more
effectively toward
those companies
most likely to thrive
in an uncertain future
• Design investment
products to maximise
‘future-fit alpha’ or
target specific
investor groups

Editor's Notes

  • #34 Our vision at CDP is….A global economic system …that operates within sustainable environmental boundaries …and prevents dangerous climate change, unsustainable water extraction & pollution, and reduces deforestation. PAUSE
  • #35 The main way we are contributing to this is running a global system to collect and share environmental information. This is all based on the questionnaires you’ve received in February. Obviously the data from just one company wouldn’t have much value. But if we have data from a very large number of companies or even, all companies, we really can make an impact.
  • #36 We started small, just over 200 companies reporting back in 2003. But now we have over 5533 companies reporting on climate change, in more than 91 countries.
  • #37 - Please note these are only for climate scores, although the presentation mentions accessing water scores, we don’t currently have examples of how investors are using the scores in these slides.
  • #38 Only available to investor members and only with CC data Most of the information you can see here is based on the scoring information (for example “risk management in place”: poor/medium/good are evaluations based on the scoring data evaluating the frequency and level of risk assessment, and whether CC risks are reviewed at all.) Provides an overview of a company’s current and historic performance and disclosure scores, score breakdown, governance and strategy, and emission trends Currently in the final stages of development by CDP Reminder: This is an example for 2015 and CC company scores will be presented as bands from 2016 onwards (Investors will not see a separate disclosure score).
  • #39 CDP climate scores Reminder: This is an example for 2015 and CC company scores will be presented as bands from 2016 onwards (NO disclosure score)
  • #40 CDP’s climate change data is made available to investors within the Bloomberg terminal. This is accessible using the FA function, and going to the ESG tab. Reminder: This is an example for 2015 and CC company scores will be presented as bands from 2016 onwards (NO disclosure score)
  • #41 We will start off with how responding works and who is asking for this information. As you can see in the diagram on the left hand side, CDP collects environmental information on behalf of Investors and supply chain members. Investors may request that you respond to Climate change, water and/or Forests. They are taking action to protect their long term investments and are interested in gaining evidence and insight into companies’ greenhouse gas emissions, water usage and strategies for managing climate change, water and deforestation risks. We also issue this request on behalf of global corporations under our supply chain program who wish to understand the impacts of climate change and water scarcity across their supply chain. Supply Chain members may ask suppliers to fill out the Climate Change and/or Water questionnaires. Please note that you only need to respond once to each program, so if for example…….
  • #42 CDP, whilst acting broadly and globally in the interests of the climate and sustainable use of natural capital, does so in partnership with and in the interests of you, the business community. We wanted to take a moment to clearly define and articulate just some of the benefits that you and your fellow disclosing businesses are enjoying as a direct result of their disclosure efforts.  Put simply: Climate disclosure makes sound business sense, with strong ROI and clear business opportunities accruing.  We will be publishing a more detailed look at ‘business benefit’ in the next couple of weeks and will be sharing in print and/or digital formats with you all. (If the printed booklet is available at your workshop)
  • #43 CDP has partnered with the United Nations Global Compact, World Resources Institute and World Wide Fund for Nature to form the Science Based Targets initiative. More information on the initiative as well as all the other tools and resources described in this presentation can be found on the initiative’s website at www.sciencebasedtargets.org.
  • #44 The widely accepted global goal is to stay well below a 2°C increase above pre-industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5 °C, recognizing that this would significantly reduce the risks and impacts of climate change. Currently, most company targets are not aggressive enough to account for their share of global GHG emissions reductions. Business as usual is leading us to 4C temperature increase, which will have disastrous effects on the planet. Science-based targets can help us close the gap left by country commitments and keep global temperatures well under under 2C pathway by disaggregating the world's remaining carbon budget and quantifying the emissions companies are responsible for. Numbers (I usually don’t mention these unless someone asks): Business as usual scenario emissions increased by 2.2% on average every year reach 3.7 to 4.8ºC of global warming by the end of the century 2ºC scenario Emissions need to be 49% to 72% lower in 2010 than 2050 2ºC carbon budget for the period 2011-2050 is in the range of ~500 – 1500 GtCO2
