TURN COMPLEXITY INTO PERFORMANCE
CDP & ESG ratings
In 2025, IMS supported 40+ CDP submissions across the UK, Europe, North America, delivering consistently strong scoring outcomes : 60% of IMS-supported submissions achieved Leadership Level A/A- scores, including supporting one client to improve from a D to an A score. IMS also supported the only UK-headquartered company to achieve a Triple A score for two consecutive years.
Combined with our unique ScoreCHECK tool, IMS provides clear strategic insight to help organisations strengthen disclosures and maximise scoring potential.
UNDERSTAND YOUR BASELINE
Use data to focus your efforts
Before aiming higher, you need to know where you stand. IMS analyses your previous CDP submissions to identify where points were gained or lost, explain the reasoning behind scores, and benchmark your position. This gap analysis, powered by our ScoreCHECK tool, gives your team a clear view of what matters most—so you can focus your energy where it counts.
STRUCTURE A STRONG RESPONSE
Build your disclosure with confidence
A strong CDP submission is the result of alignment, not improvisation. We help your teams organise responsibilities, structure the right narrative, and prepare answers that reflect both ambition and credibility. From early planning to final upload, we guide the process end-to-end—helping you avoid last-minute scrambles and missed opportunities.
IMPROVE AND DEFEND YOUR SCORE
Achieve better results, and stand by them
Whether you’re aiming for a Leadership score or responding to multiple CDP modules, IMS brings structure to your improvement plan. We also help you review final scores, prepare appeals where relevant, and understand the nuances behind CDP’s evolving methodology. Our ScoreCHECK tool gives you a reliable prediction and detailed feedback—before CDP does.
