CDP Climate Change 2023

CDP 2023 Supplier Engagement Rating methodology
Introduction
The supplier engagement rating methodology provides a score which assesses supplier action as reported by a company's CDP response. The score assesses the level of detail and comprehensiveness of thecontent, as well as the company's awareness of climate change issues, management methods and progress towards action taken on climate change as reported in the response.

Essential readingThis methodology should be used in conjunction with the CDP climate change questionnaire guidance 2023, and the "Introduction to CDP scoring 2023" document, as well as the Supplier Engagement Rating
Introduction. It is strongly recommended to familiarize yourself with the contents of both the 2023 guidance, the 2023 Scoring introduction document and the 2023 Supplier Engagement Rating document before
using the scoring methodology. Please note that the "2023 Supplier Engagement Rating introduction" document contains information essential for the understanding and correct use of this scoring methodology.

Status of this methodology
This methodology is intended to provide guidance to companies on how their response will be scored.

“CDP reserves the right to remove, amend or alter scoring criteria as displayed in the scoring methodology at any time during the disclosure cycle, without notice or notification. Such changes will only be madein exceptional circumstances when necessary to ensure that the methodology remains fair, impartial and effective for the purpose of assessing progress towards environmental stewardship.”
