Communicating and celebrating climate progress.

CDP Reporting

Investors and customers leverage CDP to assess and track company action on climate, water, and deforestation issues.  More and more, CDP is the go-to reporting framework for big and small companies alike.  

Our CDP experts help companies at all stages prepare for reporting, enhance disclosures, and implement strategic efforts to mitigate impacts.

  • Formerly the Carbon Disclosure Project, CDP is an annual reporting platform designed for companies to consistently and transparently communicate environmental impacts.

    Although voluntary, companies are increasingly requested by investors and customers to report to one or more of CDP’s three questionnaires: Climate Change, Water Security and Forests.

    CDP disclosures are industry-specific and receive a letter grade (A to D-) based on both company performance and report quality.

    Additionally, PSC provided an overview of actions to take within the fiscal year to further improve responses for the next disclosure cycle.

Materiality and Double Materiality Assessments

Determining material ESG topics streamlines your company’s strategy and enables you to focus and report on issues most meaningful to your organization.

PSC experts assess materiality using various reporting standards and frameworks, including CSRD, GRI, and ISSB/SASB. Whether for compliance with these or other voluntary and mandatory frameworks, we guide you in determining which ESG topics your organization affects the most, and/or which ESG topics have the most impact on your organization.

  • The concept of materiality differs slightly by standard and approach, but the overall intent is to identify the most important ESG topics for your organization.

    Material topics may be industry-specific and/or geography-specific. They are typically evaluated based on both the importance to key stakeholders and the potential impact on the environment and society.

    Many companies choose to also conduct a ‘double materiality’ assessment, in alignment with CSRD regulations, which includes an assessment of impact on future business success.

    PSC team members conducted a peer benchmarking assessment to identify material topics, and assessed the potential impacts of each topic on the environment and society. Additionally, PSC engaged key stakeholders to determine the priority of each topic from multiple perspectives.

    Material topics with the highest potential impact and the highest priority for stakeholders were identified and reported on externally.

ESG & Sustainability Reporting

The ESG and sustainability reporting landscape is complex and ever-shifting. PSC can help you navigate the plethora of mandatory and voluntary frameworks including CSRD, ASRS, California SB-261, TCFD, GRI, EcoVadis, ISS ESG and B Corp and others. Our team helps you understand gaps, build your reporting strategy, gather and analyze data, develop content and ensure compliance.

  • The ESG reporting landscape is complex and varies by framework, audience and objective. Most are conducted annually, and request both quantitative and qualitative information.

    ESG disclosures often include governance structure, risks & opportunities, material topic disclosures and associated data, goal-setting and progress, policy involvement, supplier and customer engagement, and business strategy.

    Some reporting efforts are rated or graded to status and progress, while others serve as guidelines for external communications.

    Requirements can vary by regulation, geography, industry and company size.
