New research from Clarity AI , the leading sustainability technology platform, reveals discrepancies in one in five companies between their reported CDP data and the emissions data reported in their own sustainability reports.

Key Points: 
  • New research from Clarity AI , the leading sustainability technology platform, reveals discrepancies in one in five companies between their reported CDP data and the emissions data reported in their own sustainability reports.
  • A study conducted by Clarity AI encompassing around 1,500 data points from more than 850 companies that disclosed climate data to the CDP in 2022, revealed that one in every five companies disclose different GHG emissions in the CDP questionnaire and in their Annual or Sustainability reports.
  • The data shows that the discrepancy rate drops from 27% for non-verified companies to 15% for verified companies.
  • These differences are explained by human errors in 80% of the cases when companies report to the CDP, or by the use of inconsistent reporting methodologies – for example when companies report only their headquarters’ emissions to the CDP and their full emissions in their own reports.
