Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) dashboarding via Workiva

Project overview and objectives

An eCommerce company faced challenges with a large and complex dataset from the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) that was difficult to interpret. Their goals were to:

• Leverage CDP data to compare their responses against competitors.
• Develop an interactive dashboard that could be adjusted and customized as needed.

What we did

Leaning on Workiva’s capabilities, Clearsulting helped:

• Import CDP data using Wdata to create a scalable data repository for current and future year datasets.
• Build queries to filter and manipulate data fields, ensuring only relevant information was included.
• Establish a scoring methodology based on client-defined criteria, creating a tailored scorecard.
• Design executive-level dashboards using Workiva’s connections, linking architecture, and presentation tools.

Impact

At project-end, they now had:

• Centralized datasets in Workiva that improved accessibility, organization, and scalability for future data integration and analysis.
• Customized, criteria-based dashboards that provided actionable, competitor-comparison insights to leadership.
• Automated data manipulation and reporting processes that reduced manual effort and enabled teams to focus on higher-value, strategic initiatives.
