# Our Question Bank

CDP is committed to turning a single disclosure into powerful market intelligence that supports organizations to make Earth-positive decisions. We work tirelessly to ensure our question bank can be used by a wide range of stakeholders, including capital markets actors, regulators, and supply chain partners.

CDP’s approach to simplifying disclosure is [our unrivalled alignment with the existing body of frameworks and standards](/en/about/framework-alignment.md).** In 2026, we have made questionnaire updates to strengthen our alignment across the board**: expanding to ocean for the first time, enhancing our forests scope, and improving plastics questions.

## Changes to the 2026 questionnaire 

From accelerating climate impacts to resource insecurity and biodiversity loss, markets need intelligence that fills critical data gaps. High-quality data helps organizations navigate risk, build resilience and identify opportunities for Earth-positive action.

In 2026, we've made some changes to the CDP questionnaire to support organizations navigating an increasingly complex global landscape. These updates are designed to **strengthen the link between data and action**. 

We are committed to:  

- Deepening alignment with global standards;
- Expanding our coverage to ocean; and
- Enhancing the usability and accessibility of the data we surface.
