什麼是碳揭露專案（Carbon Disclosure Project，CDP） ？
CDP Part 1: CDP Overview
In light of the global spotlight on climate change, countries and companies alike are developing action plans to combat its impacts.
基於全球對於氣候變遷的關注，各國與公司都在研發如何應對氣候影響。
For example, under the recent Paris agreement. The United States said its greenhouse gas emission reduction target at 26 to 28 percent below the 2005 level.
例如，美國最近因巴黎協定表示溫室氣體排放目標將會降低26-28%且低於2005水平。
The US has pledged to accomplish its reduction goal by 2030, which is only 14 years from now.
美國誓言於14年後的2030年完成它的目標。
So, as an organization, how can we contribute to this ambitious effort?
我們身為一個組織該如何貢獻於如此有野心的企圖？
One of the first steps is measuring the greenhouse gas emissions associated with our operations.
第一步就是測量公司運作所產生的溫室氣體排放量。
The CDP climate change report is one of the frameworks for quantifying an organization's contribution to global greenhouse gas emissions.
企業永續發展協會的氣候變遷報告是量化企業運作所產生的溫室氣體排放量的架構之一。
And for evaluating opportunities to step up actions on climate change.
還有評估機會並適時挺身而出。
What is CDP?
什麼是CDP?
CDP, which used to be known as the Carbon Disclosure Project, is a nonprofit organization
representing about 822 financial institutions.
CDP過去被稱為碳揭露專案，作為將近822金融機構的非營利組織的代言人。
These institutions control over 95 trillion dollars in assets and they use CDP disclosures to inform their investment decisions with the goal of minimizing climate change risk in their
portfolios.
這些機構控管的總資產超過95兆美元，因此開始著手於碳揭露專案以達到降低投資風險。
This is why many companies approach CDP, not only from the corporate social responsibility angle, but also to manage their investor relationships.
許多公司不只因為企業社會責任進一步去了解碳揭露專案，而同時管理他們的投資者關係。
There are several different CDP reporting categories including climate change, disclosures supply chain, disclosures water usage and forestry management.
碳揭露專案問卷類別包含氣候變遷、供應鏈管理、用水量以及林森管理。
Of these, the climate change report is the most frequently reported because it is the version sent to investors.
投資者所拿到的氣候變遷問卷版本是最常被記述的。
Basically, the CDP climate change report is a set of questions that companies fill out to describe their activities as they relate to greenhouse gas emissions, generation, mitigation and energy consumption.
基本上氣候變遷問卷是由公司填寫一系列問題，攸關於溫室氣體排放量、生成；緩和以及能量消耗。
You can think of it as a 20 questions on climate change performance of an organization.
你可以把它想成有關某公司氣候變遷績效的20道題目。
Although it is more than just 20 questions.
儘管題目不只20題。
These questions are designed to convey two major aspects.
這些設計好的問題主要想傳達兩大概念
One, how thoroughly does the organization disclose its greenhouse gas emissions?
第一，公司毫無保留地揭露自家溫室氣體排放量？
And two, how well does it manage its greenhouse gas emissions?
第二，自家公司如何有效地管理溫室氣體排放量？
The reporting process helps companies account for and understand their own
environmental impacts.
這個問卷過程幫助公司了解到自家運作對於環境的影響。
The report also discloses corporate actions and strategies, helping stakeholders and
investors encourage positive changes in market behavior.
除此之外也揭開公司行為和策略並鼓勵股東、投資方在市場行為上有正向的改變。
How does CDP reporting work?
碳揭露專案問卷的過程為何?
Companies fill out a series of questions through an online system about how they manage climate change strategies, identify risks and opportunities, and set goals for emissions reduction.
企業公司使用線上系統來填寫一系列問題：他們如何管理氣候變化的政策、識別風險跟機會和試圖減少排放量。
The report also asks for specific calculations of scope one, two and three emission, and comparison to last year's performance.
問卷內容也尋求範疇1、2、3(排放量)精確計算並對比於去年的績效。
For instance, it will ask you to provide your total global scope one emissions in metric
tons of co2 equivalent.
譬如要求提供全球二氧化碳當量的排廢量總數。
As I mentioned before, you get two scores on the CVP climate change report.
我之前提過，公司在氣候變遷問卷會得到兩個分數。
One for disclosure and one for performance.
1個是揭露程度，1個是績效表現。
CDP's disclosure score reflects how much detail is reported in the questionnaire.
碳揭露專案揭露分數反映出企業公開多少細節。
In the performance score rates what level of action the company is taking to address
climate change strategy and reduce emissions.
績效表現分數評估公司對於氣候變遷政策還有降低排廢量的企圖心。
How do I demonstrate my company’s climate strategy?
如何表現出自家公司的氣候策略？
The questions in the CVP climate change report are not only about emissions but
also about the organization's climate change strategy.
氣候變遷問卷不只關切排放量，同時也進一步了解企業氣候變化的應對策略。
CDP wants to know who manages the company's climate strategy and how it plans to respond to future risks and opportunities.
碳揭露專案想知道公司氣候變化的應對策略，以及未來會如何承擔風險和機運。
If your company actively engages with policymakers on climate change issues, you should describe how and why.
如果你的公司積極參氣候變遷的問題政策，你應該說明過程和原因。
CDP encourages the use of science-based reduction initiatives and offers suggestions for
achieving them.
碳揭露專案呼籲具有科學根據的減量新措施並提供實施的建議。
These can be implemented into an existing strategy or use to create one.
如此一來便可以建置於現有的策略，或是開發新方法。
Reporting with CDP is a great way to evaluate the most effective greenhouse gas reduction strategies and find opportunities for efficiency.
碳揭露專案問卷可以評估最有效的溫室氣體減量策略，並找出效能機會。
It also showcases your company's environmental leadership to investors stakeholders and your industry.
最重要的是可以向投資方、股東和公司產業展示自家企業的環境領導力。
