CDP Software
CDP has become the de facto global standard for climate reporting. Each year, over 23,000 companies respond to its Climate, Water, and Forests questionnaires — under combined pressure from investors, clients, and rating agencies.
Harnest structures your data collection throughout the year so that the CDP deadline is no longer a last-minute sprint.
Who responds to CDP and why?
CDP is not a regulatory obligation; it's a market pressure that has become a standard:
- Institutional investors representing over $130 trillion in assets ask companies to respond to CDP each year
- Major clients integrate CDP scores into their supplier evaluation criteria
- An A or A- rating provides access to ESG indices and generates positive media visibility
- Not responding sends a negative signal in a context where climate credibility is a strategic asset
From collection to scoring: Harnest covers it all
The Climate Change questionnaire alone includes over 70 questions, several of which require complex analyses — Scope 3 carbon footprint, climate scenario analysis.
Harnest structures this data collection as a continuous flow with automatic reminders and real-time progress tracking. Each piece of collected data simultaneously feeds your ESRS obligations and GRI reports, without re-entry.
Continuous data collection throughout the year
Harnest organizes your CDP data collection throughout the year — covering carbon indicators, water consumption, and supply chain — with real-time progress tracking.
437 data points covered
Climate, Water, and Forests in a single environment. A single collection effort simultaneously feeds CDP, ESRS E1, E3, and your GRI reports — without re-entry or duplication.
Ready for CDP scoring
Complete audit trail, data traceable from source to deliverable. Harnest Companion detects deviations in your key climate indicators before each CDP submission.
CDP · ESRS · GRI: one effort, multiple reports
The climate data collected for CDP largely overlaps with your ESRS E1 obligations and GRI 305 and GRI 303 standards. Harnest natively leverages this convergence: collecting for CDP often means you're already collecting for the others.
For a company subject to CSRD that also responds to CDP, over 60% of the data is already collected as part of your ESRS reporting.
