CDP 2026: Understanding the Method and Succeeding in Your Assessment
Before diving into the CDP questionnaire, you need to understand how it works:
- How does the scoring system work?
- What are the blocking criteria?
- What changes in 2026?
Without these foundations, it's hard to know where to focus your efforts, let alone aim for an A or B score.
