Report configuration
The CDP Climate PowerReport reporting period is based on the Monthly dataset - Basic fields and uses the Financial Year as the default reporting period. This dataset allows the organization to report on any period, but some visuals include comparisons of previous periods so it is recommended to change the Financial Year setting in IBM® ESG Suite to align with your 12-month reporting period for CDP. To configure the setting, navigate to and in the Set financial reporting preferences, select the reporting period.
Market-based emissions
Questions in the CDP related to market-based emissions have been handled in another report as currently market-based emissions are not included in the Monthly dataset - Basic fields.
For more information about how to configure market-based emissions, see Market-based Emissions report.
Programs data
If your organization captures programs data in Envizi ESG Suite, this information is visible in the CDP PowerReport. The report automatically configures your actions to align with the CDP reporting structure.
If your organization uses custom naming for Programs fields, one or two of the tables may not load because the PowerReport is configured to structure tables and columns based on default names. To fix this issue you can read the error message and identify the field that is causing the error, and then amend the custom field in the Envizi ESG Suite platform.
Reporting to CDP
When you are satisfied with the data that is presented in the PowerReport, you can extract the data to Microsoft Excel for reporting using the ellipses menu and then selecting Export Data.
