The Growing Importance of Voluntary Disclosure
The European Council’s agreement on the Omnibus package is likely to create significant data gaps, with much of the supply chain falling outside of mandatory reporting as a result of the increase in the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive's (CSDDD) value chain cap. With fewer companies reporting under mandatory frameworks, voluntary disclosure is now even more essential to enable companies to identify environmental risks and the opportunities associated with the green transition.
If you are looking for tailored support as you prepare for the 2026 disclosure cycle, CDP’s network of Accredited Solutions Providers (ASPs) offer a range of services.
You can browse CDP’s ASPs to find the right provider for your organization and filter by region, areas of expertise or services.
We are excited to welcome a new ASP to CDP’s network this month
