The CDP has 4 dimensions. What are they?
The CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project) is a global disclosure system that helps organizations measure and manage their environmental impacts. It operates on four key dimensions: disclosure, awareness, management, and leadership. These dimensions represent a progression:
* Disclosure: Reporting environmental data transparently.
* Awareness: Understanding the organization's environmental impact.
* Management: Taking steps to mitigate those impacts.
* Leadership: Demonstrating best practices in environmental stewardship.
These align with the CDP's methodology for assessing organizations' environmental performance, as recognized in the CIPS L3M6 framework under sustainability reporting.

Which of the following is NOT one of the UN Sustainable Development Goals?
The UN SDGs include:
* Gender Equality (Goal 5), Life on Land (Goal 15), No Poverty (Goal 1), and Reduced Inequalities (Goal 10).
* No Discrimination is not a specific SDG but is an underlying principle across goals, particularly in Goal 10 (Reduced Inequalities). The CIPS L3M6 module lists the 17 SDGs, confirming 'No Discrimination' is not a standalone goal.

Which of the following 'Economic and engineering aspects' factors would you be considering when developing location strategies for stores and warehouses? Select all that apply.
Economic and engineering aspects include geotechnical considerations (A), road safety assessments (C), and utility connections (D), as these influence construction feasibility and costs. Planning permission (B) is more regulatory than economic/engineering. The CIPS L3M6 syllabus identifies these as key factors, making A, C, and D correct.

If any health, environmental, enforcement, or conservation measures were found to conflict with WTO trade rules, the WTO would prioritise the protection of the environment over free trade.
False. The CIPS L3M6 syllabus explains that the World Trade Organization (WTO) prioritizes free trade, often subordinating environmental measures unless they align with trade rules (e.g., non-discrimination). CSR monitoring must navigate these tensions.
________________________________________
Which organization facilitates free trade?
The World Trade Organization (WTO) (D) oversees global trade rules, per the CIPS L3M6 syllabus. NATO (A) is a military alliance, the UN (B) addresses broader issues, and the World Bank (C) focuses on development. CSR intersects with WTO policies in logistics.
