CDP 2026: Understanding the Method and Succeeding in Your Assessment

Guide

CDP 2026: Understanding the Method and Succeeding in Your Assessment

Updated on June 9, 2026

Originally published on March 12, 2026

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.

This 15-page guide was designed for ESG and sustainability managers who want to frame their CDP approach before moving into execution.

In a concise format, with tables, diagrams and key figures, it covers the essentials without overwhelming the reader.

Inside:

  • The complete anatomy of the CDP questionnaire in 5 key figures
  • The scoring logic decoded level by level, with thresholds and essential criteria
  • The 7 key updates to the 2026 questionnaire and their impact on scoring
  • A 5-step method to structure your preparation, from gap analysis to action plan
  • The checklist of 8 documents to gather before the portal opens

This guide is for you if you are preparing your first CDP cycle, or if you are picking up an existing approach and want to make sure you don't miss anything before the submission window opens.

Download the guide and build the right foundations before you get started.
