CDP Scoring Parameters
26 cdp scoring parameters held in the GreenCalculus MasterBrain, drawn from Cdp Technical 2025; Act Aluminium 2022. Values are read live from the data layer on every page build, so nothing here is re-typed and nothing can drift from the figures the calculators use. They span 26 units of measurement — 1 of them in indicator set (Aluminium-specific ACT assessment criteria) — which is why the spread below is reported per unit and never blended.
Where these factors are used
CDP Climate Questionnaire sets out how factors in this group are applied, and CDP Climate Questionnaire Calculator draws on them directly. Each value below names the upstream source it came from.

Last changed names the data-layer edition in which a factor last took a new value, reconstructed from every released edition since v2025.13. A dash means the value has not moved since tracking began — which is the answer to "is the figure I used last year still current?".
Common questions
26 factors. They are read live from the GreenCalculus data layer on every page build rather than re-typed, so the figures here are the same ones the calculators use. The upstream publishers are ACT (Assessing low-Carbon Transition) Aluminium Methodology v2.0 — joint ADEME + CDP forward-looking sector-specific transition assessment framework (203pp, 9 modules covering Targets / Investment / Sold-product / Management / Engagement / Business Model) and CDP Climate Change Questionnaire (2023 Full + 2025 Corporate Overview + 2026 cycle) — 13-module structure + A/A-/B/C/D/F scoring + A-list designation.
Not without checking the unit first. This group spans 26 different units of measurement, the most common being indicator set (Aluminium-specific ACT assessment criteria). A factor is only meaningful against the activity data its unit describes, which is why the spread on this page is reported per unit and never blended into a single average.
None of the 26 factors here has changed value since tracking began. The Last-changed column shows a dash against every row for that reason. Change history is reconstructed from every released edition of the data layer, so a revaluation would appear there.
Every row has its own link. Click the canonical key in the last column and the address bar will hold an anchor for that one factor, so a citation resolves to the number itself rather than to a table someone has to search. Quote the data-layer edition alongside it (currently v2026.107) — values change between editions, and the version is what lets a reader resolve the exact figure you used.
Yes. This group is readable from an open endpoint with no key and no signup: https://greencalculus.com/wp-json/greencalculus/v1/factors/cdp_scoring. Responses carry an X-GC-Version header so a consumer can detect a new edition without diffing the payload. Cite the upstream publisher for the values themselves.
