CDP Scores and A Lists
The market is demanding more holistic information, recognizing that assessing the full extent of environmental risks, impacts and opportunities in operations, supply chain, product and service offerings is critical to achieving their business objectives.
The world’s leading companies are choosing progress, taking a more holistic approach to ensure they can access capital and boost the resilience in their supply chains and operations, and identify opportunities for growth.
Companies committed to transparency are doing far more than just staying compliant – they’re staying ahead.
CDP A List companies outperformed market peers by an average of 6% in stock gains for the last decade, showing that transparency and ambition are rewarded by the market.
Whether an organization is at the beginning of its journey, working to improve its score year-on-year, or leading the way in environmental transparency, a CDP score enables organizations to see clearly, act decisively and create the change the planet and economy need.

Cities, States and Regions A List
Responsible for more than 70% of global emissions, and home to more than half the world’s population, cities are critical in the fight against climate change. Many cities are building on the momentum in their environmental action, making it mainstream to their operations. This is reflected in the growing number of cities that are consistently receiving an A, despite the tightening criteria to achieve this.
To score an A, a city must disclose publicly through CDP-ICLEI Track, have a city-wide emissions inventory, a climate risk and vulnerability assessment (CRVA), and a published climate action plan, among other things.
The A List, which was started by CDP in 2018, recognizes cities that have received the highest score for transparency and bold climate action, and celebrates their achievements, vision and commitment in the fight against climate change.
We will publish the Cities, States and Regions A List and 2024 scores in Q2 2025.

Accessing public corporate responses
Until the end of 2024, anyone with a CDP login had limited access to view individual corporate public disclosure responses through our website, usually 20 responses.
We are making some changes to this system to gain a more in-depth understanding of what data is being used in the market and for what purposes, so that we can develop a meaningful permanent solution that meets the needs of our stakeholders.
In the meantime, there are still several ways to access CDP data, depending on the type of organization you are and how it will be used:
