Anthesis is pleased to announce it has been renewed as a US Silver Consultancy Partner for 2016 by the leading international NGO, CDP.  Building upon its staff members’ experience in supporting the CDP reporting process, the partnership enables Anthesis to offer its clients an inside track to the upcoming CDP reporting season, including in-depth understanding of the questionnaire development, methodology changes and scoring to help companies improve their response, strategy and performance around climate change issues. As a CDP Consultancy Partner, Anthesis can provide support to any responding company and will also work with CDP member companies through the Response Check program.

“CDP is delighted to continue our relationship with Anthesis Group as a consultancy partner in the USA,” says Paul Robins, Head of Corporate Partnerships at CDP.  “Anthesis Group has consistently demonstrated expertise and provided valuable services to CDP responding corporates, and we look forward to them continuing to do so.”

Chris Jones, President & Managing Partner at Anthesis notes, “We are excited to continue our relationship with CDP to support corporate disclosure and performance on climate change, water and supply chain issues at-large. We expect the insight to CDP’s questionnaire, scoring and reporting processes that we gain from this partnership will result in direct and tangible benefits for our clients, helping them to improve their climate change scores, and correspondingly, translate into stronger programs that reduce impact and create lasting business benefit.”

Anthesis has world-class capability in supporting companies on all aspects of GHG emissions accounting and disclosure, including inventory development, review, assurance and verification of Greenhouse Gas Emissions. This includes measurement and reporting of impacts, developing strategies and goals, implementing performance improvement programs and communicating commitments and progress.  Anthesis’ US team members have been supporting corporations with their CDP reporting for a decade, and many of the Anthesis’ team members have helped clients to achieve and maintain listings on CDP’s Climate Disclosure and Climate Performance Leadership Indices for multiple years, with an average 2015 client score of 98 and numerous clients who achieved the maximum possible score of 100A in 2015.  In addition to helping companies navigate the nuances of scoring and disclosure associated with the management and strategy oriented sections, Anthesis’ global team has nearly 20 years of expertise in developing and auditing corporate greenhouse gas emissions and water inventories, delivered both through the use of in-house spreadsheets and software tools as well as 3rd party proprietary software systems. As a part of this work we continue our 3rd consecutive year as a 2016 US Silver Consultancy Partner to the CDP.
