Climate change, water scarcity and deforestation are unparalleled global challenges that require a systemic change in market behavior. To catalyze collective action toward our goals, CDP supports many different initiatives and has forged strong alliances around the world. We work with companies, cities, states and regions, investors, purchasers, non-governmental organizations, intergovernmental organizations and governments to drive further action.

Reporting frameworks
The Climate Disclosure Standards Board (CDSB) is an international consortium of business and environmental NGOs. CDSB is committed to advancing and aligning the global mainstream corporate reporting model to equate natural capital with financial capital.
It does this by offering companies a framework for reporting environmental information with the same rigour as financial information. In turn this helps them to provide investors with decision-useful environmental information via the mainstream corporate report, enhancing the efficient allocation of capital. Regulators also benefit from compliance-ready materials.
In short, it is about linking environmental and financial performance to provide investors with clear, reliable information for robust decision making.
