‘We are very proud of the score we achieved,’ says CEO and company owner Klaus Berthold. ‘Achieving the best possible result right from the start confirms our high standards in terms of climate and environmental protection. Especially since CPD is known for applying a strict and independent methodology in its assessment.’
CDP operates the only independent disclosure system worldwide. In 2025, almost 20,000 companies were assessed and more than 22,000 reports were submitted. The Carbon Disclosure Project is fully aligned with the TCFD framework and maintains the world's largest database of environmental data. Its assessment system is widely used by investors and procurement teams seeking to accelerate progress towards a climate-neutral, sustainable and environmentally friendly global economy.
