After much anticipation, the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) has begun releasing the 2024 scores. While the scores are not yet publicly available on the CDP website, individual organizations are being notified of their rankings.
Achilles Clients Achieve Top Rankings
Achilles is incredibly proud to announce that several of our Carbon Reduce clients have been included in the global A-List Rankings. These outstanding organizations are:
Each of these companies has excelled in their climate responses, demonstrating a strong commitment to environmental sustainability.
2024 CDP Scoring Overview
In 2024, over 22,000 corporates were scored by CDP, assessing their transparency and actions as they work to integrate Earth-positive decisions into their business models. Historically, companies could opt into three distinct questionnaires focused on climate, water, and forests. However, for the 2024 submission cycle, all modules were combined into a single reporting platform.
The introduction of Essential Question criteria further enhanced the robustness of environmental claims, acting as a gatekeeper to ensure that any weak or underreported elements in an organization’s submission would result in a lower score than in previous years.
Key Findings from 2024 Results
Feedback from this year’s results indicates that many previously listed leadership organizations have been downgraded to a B. Common issues include:
- Weaknesses in GHG verification, standards, and scope of coverage
- Lack of real progress against targets
Toitu Carbon Reduce Programme
Fortunately, Achilles clients participating in the Toitu Carbon Reduce Certification programme have not faced these issues. The programme is a CDP-recognized GHG verification standard, and organizations presenting their climate change credentials through the programme earn up to 16 additional points. Additionally, the programme meets the requirements for both Essential Questions and A-List Criteria.
The Toitu Carbon Reduce programme helps organizations measure, manage, and reduce their GHG emissions effectively. On average, participants achieve:
- 30% reduction in GHG emissions over 4 years
- Up to 50% reduction over 6 years
These reductions align with science-based targets, demonstrating the programme’s effectiveness in driving meaningful environmental change.
