In the twenty years since CDP pioneered environmental disclosure, it has become an established business norm. More recently, many countries and jurisdictions have implemented mandatory disclosure regulation, requiring many companies to disclosure enivornmnetal data by law in years to come.
But are these developments enough to fully drive forward the environmental agenda and ensure businesses and capital markets play their role in addressing climate change and sustainable development?
CDP's Frank Dialogue event series will facilitate bold discussions and debates amongst thought leaders who have shaped environmental disclosure, taking stock of progress made, the pathway we’re on and what is to come.
