[H3] CDP
Since 2020 Ballard has annually disclosed our environmental performance through the CDP disclosure platform (formally Carbon Disclosure Project). The CDP is a not-for-profit charity that runs the global disclosure system for investors, companies, cities, states and regions to manage their environmental impacts. Each year, CDP takes the information supplied in its annual reporting process and scores companies and cities based on their journey through disclosure and towards environmental leadership. Through an independent scoring methodology, they measure corporate and city progress and incentivize action on climate change, forests and water security

EcoVadis Sustainability Ratings provide a detailed assessment of Ballard’s sustainability performance in areas of Environment, Labor & Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement. Each year we submit answers and evidence to the EcoVadis questionnaire where a team will asses our performance and rate us against their scoring methodology. Scorecards are made available and shared with our network partners as requested through the platform. In 2023, a silver rating meant that Ballard’s sustainability performance was in the top 15% of companies scored by EcoVadis.
