A quarter‑century ago, environmental disclosure was in its infancy. Today, it’s embedded in decision‑making worldwide. CDP ignited the transformation and business leaders, investors and governments alike soon recognized the benefits of disclosure, turning a niche practice into a global norm. To mark our 25th anniversary, CDP is hosting a series of awards ceremonies celebrating global leaders in environmental transparency. This milestone is both a moment for reflection and a call to action as we work together to build a future we know is vital and within our reach.
Note, this is an invite-only event with limited capacity. Please register below.
In addition to this event in China, we will also be hosting celebrations in France, Japan, Korea, Brazil and Türkiye.
