CDP and GHG reporting support

If the request is already in your inbox

You do not need to start from a blank questionnaire.

You need a clear read of Cisco's requirement, a practical data path, and a response that can support CDP disclosure, emissions review, and annual progress tracking.

Why suppliers get stuck

Cisco supplier reporting is annual and evidence-heavy.

Cisco expects suppliers to provide a corporate-wide Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions inventory, material Scope 3 categories, public CDP response, third-party review of reported emissions, and progress against a GHG reduction goal.

CDP can overwhelm teams that are new to disclosure.

The questionnaire structure, evidence requirements, and public-response implications can be hard to navigate without a clear data model.

Verification or third-party review needs preparation.

Even if an independent reviewer is separate from Keslio, the supplier still needs clean calculations, evidence, methodology, and source records before review can happen.

The annual cycle matters.

A rushed first response creates avoidable stress next year. A clean base year gives the supplier a repeatable annual process.

A strong response should protect the Cisco relationship while giving your team CDP-ready evidence and a cleaner annual update path.

Response path

From first read to reusable evidence pack.

Keslio starts by reading the customer request, then scopes only the sustainability data, evidence, and response materials needed for the buyer and deadline.

01

Request review

Keslio reads the Cisco request, CDP instruction, questionnaire, or deadline and tells you what the next step should be.

Clarity before scope
02

Fixed-fee project quote

You receive a bounded quote with timeline, data needs, deliverables, and the client inputs Keslio needs to start.

Defined project scope
03

Calculation and evidence build

Scope 1, Scope 2, and material Scope 3 data are collected, calculated, documented, and organized for CDP and customer-response use.

Defensible output
04

Review and refresh path

Keslio helps prepare the underlying materials for third-party review and annual refresh. Independent review or assurance is scoped separately where required.

Reusable asset
Pricing indication

Fixed-fee projects, quoted after the free review.

Most simple service-business requests fall into a bounded project range. The exact quote depends on the Cisco request, CDP scope, deadline, data quality, number of entities, material Scope 3 categories, and whether independent review is required.

Annual refresh

$2k-$5k

For returning or well-organized suppliers updating prior-year emissions, CDP materials, and progress evidence.

First-time GHG support

$4k-$8k

For a simple service-business request with one main entity and manageable data sources.

CDP + material Scope 3 package

$6k-$15k

For suppliers that need emissions calculations plus CDP preparation, methodology documentation, material Scope 3 mapping, and reduction-goal progress support.

Third-party review / assurance path

Quoted

For requests that require independent review, verification, assurance, multiple entities, or more complex operations. Keslio can prepare the underlying materials; independent review may need a separate provider.

Relevant experience

Built from real supplier reporting work.

Keslio has already supported enterprise customer supplier reporting work. Details are anonymized for confidentiality.

Microsoft supplier, service-business context

Keslio supported a Singapore-based outsourced marketing services provider supplying Microsoft.

Result

Accepted reporting work

The engagement covered annual GHG emissions calculations and consultant-letter reporting that was accepted.

Repeatability

Three annual cycles

The client returned across three consecutive disclosure cycles, which is the refresh behavior this offer is built around.

Annual workflow

From CDP confusion to annual reporting rhythm.

The first year creates the evidence base. The next year should be faster, cleaner, and less stressful.

01

Request received

You share the Cisco wording, CDP instruction, questionnaire, or deadline.

02

Requirements mapped

Keslio identifies the likely CDP, emissions, Scope 3, target, and review-readiness needs.

03

Response materials prepared

Calculations, methodology notes, evidence, and CDP-ready materials are assembled.

04

Annual refresh

Next year starts from a working base instead of a blank spreadsheet.

Quick answers

FAQ

Short answers for the first questions a Cisco supplier usually has before sharing the request.

Does Cisco expect suppliers to report through CDP?

Cisco states that suppliers are expected to publicly report greenhouse gas emissions and reduction targets to CDP annually. Keslio can help prepare the GHG inventory, evidence, and CDP-ready materials behind that response.

Can Keslio help with Cisco supplier CDP reporting?

Yes. Keslio can review the request, identify likely data needs, support GHG calculations, prepare CDP-ready materials, and organize evidence for annual reporting.

Can Keslio provide third-party review or assurance?

Keslio can prepare the calculations, methodology, and evidence for review. Independent third-party review or assurance is separate and may require an external reviewer depending on the request.

What data is usually needed?

Most service businesses need utility, fuel, travel, purchased goods and services, employee commuting, cloud or software usage where relevant, and finance records that support Scope 1, Scope 2, and material Scope 3 calculations.

What if we do not have a public GHG reduction goal?

Keslio can help identify the gap and scope a practical reduction-goal readiness path. Formal public target-setting may require additional internal review and separate scope.

Is Keslio affiliated with Cisco?

No. Keslio is not affiliated with or endorsed by Cisco. Keslio helps suppliers respond to customer sustainability requirements.

Keslio is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or approved by Cisco. Keslio provides independent sustainability advisory and GHG reporting support for suppliers responding to customer requirements.
