Reporter Services Principles and Delivery Overview

This document is a guide that outlines the principles and delivery mechanisms of Reporter Services (RS), a fee-based membership offering for companies responding to CDP information requests. It details the three main pillars of RS, which include disclosure support, data and analytics, and insights webinars, all facilitated by a dedicated account manager. The guide clarifies the expectations and limitations of the service for both member companies and account managers, emphasizing the importance of integrity, objectivity, and independence as defined by the Auditing Practices Board Ethical Standard. The document explains that RS aims to enhance company practices for sustainability and preparation for a low-carbon economy, ensuring that reported information is clear and aligned with CDP's technical guidance. It also emphasizes that RS membership does not guarantee an increase in CDP scores, which are determined independently, and highlights the impartial nature of the support provided by account managers.
