What are the types of surveys

G&A has created fine-tuned methodologies to support responses to S&P Global's Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA) and identify areas for improvement. This engagement is a two-stage process beginning with a comprehensive gap analysis of opportunities to strategically improve the upcoming CSA response, and then support through the annual CSA response period.

With our assistance, our clients consistently stay ahead of the pack on their CDP scores. We provide highly targeted advice and recommendations informed by our comprehensive understanding of the CDP scoring methodology.

G&A has experience responding to EcoVadis and other supply chain surveys. Our methodology includes developing a comprehensive response, guiding clients in best practices, informing strategy, and estimating the final score.
