Vector Corp scorecard

up from B- last cycleTop 27% of Corporate disclosers in Manufacturingscored 12 Aug 2027

Weighted total

66%

DisclosureA-

92%

Nearly all requested data points are present and complete.

AwarenessB

78%

Risks and impacts are identified, but value-chain awareness is thin.

ManagementB-

61%

Actions are described without consistent evidence of implementation.

LeadershipC

34%

Few leadership indicators met: no verified Scope 3, no 1.5°C-aligned target.

Summary

What's working

Complete Scope 1 and Scope 2 (market and location based) inventories with third-party verification (7.9.1, 7.45).
Board-level oversight of climate is clearly assigned with a named committee and quarterly cadence (4.1, 4.1.2).
Reporting boundary and organisational structure fully described, matching the financial consolidation (1.2, 1.4).
Physical and transition risks identified with time horizons and a documented assessment process (2.1, 3.1).

What's missing

No 1.5°C-aligned, externally validated emissions reduction target (7.53).
Scope 3 reported for only 4 of 15 relevant categories, and none are verified (7.8, 7.45.1).
Climate transition plan disclosed but not put to a shareholder vote and lacks costed actions (5.11).
Supplier engagement covers 18% of spend, with no measurement of resulting emissions reductions (6.3).
Financial effects of risks and opportunities given as ranges without methodology (3.6).

Common issues across answers

Answers describe intent, not action

17 responses use forward-looking language ("we plan to", "we are exploring") where CDP scores only implemented activity. Management points are dropped even though the underlying work exists.

5.116.36.3.17.54

Quantitative fields left as narrative

Numeric tables are completed with text explanations instead of figures, so the scoring model cannot award data points.

3.67.9.17.30

Missing methodology and evidence references

Where a calculation or assessment is described, the standard, tool or verification statement is not named — a recurring cause of half-point awards.

2.23.1.17.45

Value chain coverage understated

Engagement activity reported at group level only; no breakdown by supplier tier or % of spend, which caps awareness and leadership credit.
