aiESG Launches "aiESG for CDP," an AI-Powered Answer Support Tool to Find the Optimal Solution for CDP

aiESG Inc. (Headquarters: Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture, Representative Director: Shunsuke Managi, hereinafter "aiESG") has begun offering "aiESG for CDP," a CDP answer support tool that dramatically evolves companies' CDP response operations, starting June 30, 2026.

Background of Development: Response Operations and Tight Schedules Burdening Staff

The 2026 survey will allow access to questions from mid-June, requiring a response within a short period of a few months until the scoring deadline of September 14.

While over 22,000 companies worldwide responded in the 2025 fiscal year, only about 5% of the evaluated companies achieved the highest rating of "A," indicating that the hurdle for obtaining a high score is extremely high. Currently, companies responding to CDP face the following harsh challenges:

・Deciphering Extensive Official Documents of Approximately 1500 Pages:

The 2026 version of CDP's official documents spans approximately 1500 pages, with over 400 questions across three sectors. It is extremely difficult to read through all of them manually, accurately understand the scoring criteria for each question and CDP's intentions, and translate them into answers.

・"Wasteful Points Lost" Due to Complex Scoring Criteria: CDP's scoring method is complex; if even one of the "essential criteria" set across multiple questions is not met, a score above a certain level cannot be obtained. In reality, cases where overlooking detailed evaluation criteria lead to lost points, and cases where responses are submitted without a fundamental understanding of CDP's requirements, are frequent.

・Analog Information Aggregation and Significant Workload: In many companies, response tasks spanning multiple departments are siloed. Many companies still manually transfer aggregated answers into the CDP response system using Excel. There is even a risk of scores decreasing due to errors in this transcription process.

Value Provided by "aiESG for CDP"

This tool utilizes AI that has learned approximately 1500 pages of CDP's official documents to powerfully support arduous response operations through two approaches: "Answer Improvement Cycle with AI Scoring" and "Workflow Optimization with Integrated Management Functions."

1. Score Maximization Guide Led by AI

・Loss Analysis and Prediction Based on 1500 Pages of Knowledge: Before submission, the AI evaluates the answers based on official CDP criteria. If the score is not perfect, it explains the reasons for lost points and predicts the final score.

・Presentation of Question Objectives and "Answer Tips": The AI summarizes CDP's expectations and intentions, which cannot be discerned from the questions alone, and provides specific approaches for achieving high scores, such as "explaining the reason is important even when there is no risk." It also prevents omissions of essential criteria and guides companies toward "answers that are correctly and maximally evaluated" for their initiatives.

2. Management Functions to Maximize Operational Efficiency by Moving Beyond Excel Management

・Visualization of Progress: Assignees are linked to each question, and progress is visualized on a dashboard. The comment function allows for reviews and reference materials to be left, preventing knowledge silos and enabling the transfer of expertise even when personnel change.

・Knowledge Inheritance and Prevention of Transcription Errors: Last year's response content can be reflected in the editing editor with a single click. In the future, we aim to directly link with CDP's response system via API, eliminating the waste of Excel aggregation and the risk of score reduction due to transcription errors.
