This article is for Disclosers and outlines the amendments policy for the 2024 disclosure cycle and how to edit your response after you have submitted your response, which is possible directly through the Portal.
Contents
Unlike in previous years, you can amend your response for free directly via the Portal without needing to contact CDP. There are no restrictions on what data can be amended or added and disclosers can fill in questions that had been previously left blank.
Once you have submitted your response (any time before October 30 for Corporate disclosers and December 2 for Cities, States and Regions), you can edit your response at any time until December 2.
However, in order for your response to be scored, you must resubmit your final response by the updated scoring deadline of October 16.
Important note: A response that is edited following a submission and is not resubmitted, will not be scored. Therefore, if you choose to edit your response following a submission, please resubmit your edited response as soon as possible and by the scoring deadline of October 16.
You may choose to edit your response following the addition of late requests or if you want to make edits to your submitted response.
Only the Submission Lead can re-submit the edited response, but contributors can change a submitted response into amendment/edit status and contribute to the edits.
1. Sign in to the Portal.
2. Click Edit submission if you want to make changes to your submitted questionnaire.
Please note, a response that is edited and and resubmitted prior to October 16 will be scored. A response that is edited and resubmitted after this date will not be scored. Therefore, please resubmit your edited response as soon as possible.
3. Click Edit submission - your questionnaire is now open for edits.
4. Click on a section to edit your questionnaire response.
5. Answer or edit any question as needed.
6. Click Back to overview when you have completed any required edits.
7. Click Submit edits when you have finished editing your response and are ready to re-submit
Please note: if your initial submission is public, your amended submission will also be public. If your initial submission was non-public, you will be given the option to keep it non-public or change it to public. If you choose public, then your amended response will become public upon resubmission.
8. Complete all submission steps and click Submit questionnaire.
Important: You must click ‘Submit questionnaire’ for edits to be integrated into your response
If you edit and resubmit your response before the scoring deadline of October 16 your edited response will be scored. If you edit a response, but do not resubmit before October 9, your response will not be eligible for scoring.
