CDP – the Carbon Disclosure Project

Software GmbH improves climate score to B

CDP is the world’s largest and most comprehensive data set on corporate green-house gas (GHG) emissions. This data fuels and tracks global progress towards building a truly sustainable economy for people and planet.

Software GmbH participated in the CDP survey for the first time in 2022, accounting for its GHG emissions data for the year 2021. We achieved a C score then (on a scoring scale from A to F, A being the highest) and maintained it in the following year, demonstrating our awareness and the consistency of our efforts in climate reporting and initiatives.

With our latest submission, reflecting our 2023 emissions data, our efforts have led to an improved score of B, indicating that the Company has evolved from an awareness setting to proactive management, having actively worked to address climate-related issues.
