This year some 9,600 companies disclosed data about their environmental impacts, risks and opportunities to CDP for independent assessment against its scoring methodology. In 2020, companies were requested to do so by over 515 investors with over USD $106 trillion in assets and more than 150 major purchasing organizations with USD $4 trillion in purchasing power. CNH Industrial is one of a small number of high-performing companies out of more than 5,800 that were scored.

A detailed and independent methodology is used by CDP to assess these companies. This allocates a score of A to D- based on the comprehensiveness of disclosure, awareness and management of environmental risks. It also considers best practices regarding environmental leadership, such as setting ambitious and meaningful targets.
