Investors use CDP data{ Aviva uses CDP data to inform stock selection and engagement strategy:

“The CDP data helps us to determine the quality of an individual company’s management response and is a factor in our overall buy, sell and hold decisions. If such a company had not even bothered to respond to the CDP, then we tell them that unless this changes, we may vote against the report and accounts at the company’s next AGM. This is proving quite a successful sanction.”1

Lord Sharman, former Chairman of Aviva Investors

responses to inform their voting strategy for industrials on a

{{ “How will we meet our new supply chain target? Close cooperation with our suppliers will be key. We will be working together to help them switch to renewable energy, and encouraging more of them to report to CDP.
