# Disclose Data

Action starts with disclosure. All organizations – large and small – need to **measure and understand their environmental risks, opportunities** and **impacts**. Data surfaced through disclosure helps organizations take Earth-positive action and smart decisions to support their commercial interests.

Each year, entities and organizations disclose key environmental data through CDP.

****

**Disclosers include: **

- Companies (including SMEs), requested by [CDP Capital Market Signatories](/en/capital-markets-signatories.md) or [Supply Chain members](/en/supply-chain.md), as well as Self-Selected Companies who disclose without having received an official request
- Cities
- States and regions 
- Public authorities

These entities disclose by responding to the CDP questionnaire, and receive a score based on the information in their response.

## Why disclose? 


Environmental disclosure is an essential tool to build resilient business models by illuminating risks and identifying untapped opportunities for growth.   

More, and better, information creates an accurate picture of progress and enables organizations to build robust plans for action and to make Earth-positive decisions.

## Our question bank


In 2024, we combined our previous three questionnaires into one integrated questionnaire so disclosers can respond across multiple environmental issues in one place and take a holistic approach to environmental management.

**There are several versions of the CDP questionnaire:**

- Full corporate questionnaire;
- SME questionnaire, a shorter simplified version of the full corporate questionnaire for SMEs;
- Cities questionnaire; and
- States and regions questionnaire.
