Abstract: The CDP Supply Chain Climate Change Information Request is an electronic questionnaire designed to collect information that is widely used by large commercial and governmental organizations to understand, assess, and mitigate potentially disruptive and costly supply chain risks and environmental impacts. The questionnaire is administered by CDP North America, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (“CDP”). CDP administers the questionnaire annually on behalf of over 700 institutional investors, 300 major corporations, and several large governmental purchasing organizations in addition to the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA). CDP’s most recent annual survey was directed to over 40,000 companies, with over 23,000 electing to respond. This collection request is for GSA to direct CDP to survey specific recipients using CDP’s standard questionnaire. CDP, not GSA, is solely responsible for authoring and administering the questionnaire. GSA is not requesting (and does not have the ability as part of CDP’s process) to revise the questionnaire, including to revise questions or to include or exclude specific questions. GSA-requested recipients will be notified both by CDP and directly by GSA that GSA is a sponsor of the collection and will use the information.
