CDP is a not-for-profit charity that runs the global disclosure system for investors, companies, cities, states and regions to manage their environmental impacts. The data CDP collects helps decision makers reduce risks and drive action towards a sustainable world. Gather information across both upstream and downstream value chains . Packaging upstream includes – internal and external operations. The downstream chain includes product logistics and post consumer waste.

Take into account product design, sustainable material, distribution efficiency and labeling. 2) The scoring of CDPs questionnaires is conducted by accredited scoring partners trained by CDP. CDP’s internal scoring team coordinate and collate all scores and run data quality checks and quality assurance processes to ensure that scoring standards are aligned between samples and scoring partners.
