Sector questions and CDP’s Activity Classification System (CDP-ACS)

Companies in high-impact sectors, in addition to the general questions, will be presented with questions specific to that sector. The rationale for developing a refined questionnaire for each of these sectors is outlined in the relevant sector introduction.

The sector-specific questions to companies are defined by CDP's Activity Classification System (CDP-ACS). This system categorizes companies by focusing on the activities from which they derive revenue and associating these with the impacts to their business from climate change, water security and deforestation.
