Why you? How does CDP help?

Global context The risks The opportunities

$35tn

combined value of the world's largest companies by market capitalization, according to MSCI. That's twice the GDP of the USA in 2015.

<1.2%

Less than 1.2% of all water on earth is available for human use.

31gt

of GHG emissions are produced globally each year. That's equivalent to 8,139 coal power stations.

$4tn

worth of assets will be at risk from climate change by 2030.

$2.5bn

financial hit taken by companies due to water challenges in 2015 alone.

Upstream GHG emissions can be up to four times larger than a company's operational emissions.

CDP data repeatedly shows that organizations that manage risks and opportunities related to natural capital perform better overall.

New climate change regulations are placing requirements on business; companies acting now can take advantage of new opportunities and avoid billions of dollars in potential penalties.

$5.5tn

estimated global market for low-carbon goods and services. That's half of China's GDP in 2015.

Improving measurement Through disclosure What are the benefits?

"One of the most effective ways to get suppliers to begin managing their climate change risks is to get them to start assessing [them]. Once they start measuring, they become better at managing." - Fiona Ball, Sky Plc

In order to manage, we must measure.Without measuring the impacts of climate change we can't take full advantage of the opportunities, or mitigate the risks.

CDP’s standardized and globally recognized reporting system reduces the burden of collecting and submitting data, making measurement and comparison easier.

Responding to CDP helps companies to understand best practice and benchmark against peers, both nationally and globally, across a wide range of material factors.

"Through the use of CDP supply chain program responses, Braskem aims to enhance its relationships with its suppliers and increase the network of companies engaged in sustainability." - Braskem

Companies only need to provide one response through CDP’s globally recognised data collection platform to meet all of their customer requests for climate change and water information.

$6.6bn

Suppliers reported savings of $6.6bn in 2015 by measuring and managing emissions.

3,000+

Suppliers identified over 3,000 collaborative opportunities to reduce emission with their customers in 2015.

Start measuring the impact of deforestation in your supply chains

CDP is now working to help buyers manage the risks, set targets and capitalize on the ever-growing opportunities. Following a grant from the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (NORAD) CDP now helps buyers collect standardized data on deforestation, as well as climate change and water security. This makes us the first organization in the world to help buyers manage the risk and opportunities across these three areas.
