How to disclose as a company
Companies are asked to disclose through CDP by their customers and investors. By completing CDP's questionnaires on climate change, forests and water security, companies will identify ways to help them manage their own environmental risks and opportunities as well as providing vital information back to their customers and investors, and to the market through research, insights and financial products and services.

The Covid-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic presents a global challenge of unprecedented scale. CDP is aware that companies, investors city and state governments around the world are facing serious impacts affecting their residents, staff, and ongoing operations. We recognise that for many this could also impact their 2020 disclosure.
On behalf of all CDP staff we would like to emphasize our solidarity and support for all our stakeholders at this difficult time. The reporting platform is now open for the companies, cities and state governments who are planning to disclose. Submission end deadlines have been pushed back in recognition of the challenges facing our stakeholders, with details on the relevant dashboard.
We are continuing to monitor the rapidly evolving situation and will keep in touch with all our stakeholders in the coming weeks and months.
