Fighting climate change is vital for a sustainable economy. CDP has been putting critical environmental data at the heart of business decisions since 2002.

Climate change

We believe that improving corporate awareness through measurement and disclosure is essential to the effective management of carbon and climate change risk. We request information on climate risks and low carbon opportunities from the world’s largest companies on behalf of over 680 institutional investor signatories with a combined US$130 trillion in assets and 200+ major purchasers with over US$5.5 trillion in procurement spend.

$35tn
combined value of the world's largest companies by market capitalization, according to MSCI. That's twice the GDP of the USA in 2015.
31gt

Companies can drive change faster than governments and innovate new ways of mitigating the impact of climate change.
$53bn
worth of savings identified by companies responding to the CDP climate change program.
Research shows that companies transparent about their carbon risks experience a positive impact on their valuation and those that reduce their carbon intensity the most, outperform the market.
Improving measurement Through disclosure What are the benefits
In order to manage, we must measure. Without measuring the impacts of climate change we can't take full advantage of the opportunities, or mitigate the risks.
CDP’s standardized and globally recognized reporting system reduces the burden of collecting and submitting data, making measurement and comparison easier.
Disclosing climate change data is a journey and it is the first step to mitigating risks and taking opportunities.
Through CDP your company can pro-actively demonstrate to hundreds of investors that it is committed to tackling climate-related risks and opportunities, thereby enhancing its reputation.
Companies can take meaningful steps to address climate change, helping to ensure long-term sustainability and profitability.
Disclosing to CDP helps companies to understand best practice and benchmark against peers, both nationally and globally, across a wide range of material factors.
$1.2m
saved by companies annually in interest payments when they disclose their carbon emissions through CDP.
62%
of 20-30 year olds want to work for a company that has a positive impact. Responding to CDP provides recognition and attracts talent.
65%
of the MSCI All Country World Index has already reported through CDP. Join other companies and begin responding in preparation for future regulations.
