What is ESG disclosure submission?


ESG ratings and disclosure platforms increasingly shape commercial outcomes and investor requirements. Our ESG Disclosure Submission service helps organisations prepare structured, score-aligned responses to CDP, EcoVadis and similar platforms, ensuring submissions are robust, defensible and aligned with wider sustainability approach.

Drawing on experience across reporting, impacts and dependencies and governance design, we position disclosure submissions as part of a structured sustainability management process rather than a standalone response exercise.

What this service covers.

Our ESG Disclosure Submission service includes detailed score breakdown analysis, mapping of existing data and policies against platform requirements, drafting and optimisation of responses and strengthening of supporting evidence.

We provide targeted scoring breakdowns using AI-enabled tools to identify lost points and quick improvements. Where required, we align disclosures with sustainability reporting, climate strategy and regulatory obligations to reduce duplication and inconsistency.

Value and benefits.

A structured submission approach improves score performance and reduces avoidable scoring loss. Organisations gain a clearer understanding of the scoring logic, improved documentation quality, and better alignment between their ESG strategy and external perceptions.

The service reduces internal burden, strengthens governance and supports measurable year-on-year improvement rather than reactive one-cycle submissions.

Frequently asked questions.

Can you guarantee an improved CDP or EcoVadis score?

Whilst we cannot guarantee, we have worked with many clients to improve their scores, significantly improve alignment to scoring criteria and reduce avoidable scoring loss. Scores depend on performance and maturity, and changes in scoring methodologies need to also be considered.

Is this just about writing better answers?

No. It includes improving evidence quality, governance systems and data alignment rather than narrative alone.

Can this align with our sustainability reporting and regulatory disclosures?

Yes. We deliberately align platform submissions with reporting and regulatory work to avoid duplication and inconsistency, particularly with the incoming UK SRS.

How much internal effort is required?

We structure inputs clearly to minimise burden, though engagement from relevant teams is essential for credible disclosure, but we aim to remove as much of the heavy lifting as possible.

Is this suitable for first-time respondents?

Yes. It is particularly valuable for establishing a strong baseline and avoiding early scoring weaknesses.
