Our vision and mission

We want to see a thriving economy that works for people and planet in the long term. To do this we focus investors, companies and cities on taking urgent action to build a truly sustainable economy by measuring and understanding their environmental impact.

To achieve this, CDP, formerly the Carbon Disclosure Project, runs the global disclosure system that enables companies, cities, states and regions to measure and manage their environmental impacts. We have built the most comprehensive collection of self-reported environmental data in the world.

Our network of investors and purchasers, representing over $100 trillion, along with policy makers around the globe, use our data and insights to make better-informed decisions. Through our offices and partners in 50 countries we have driven unprecedented levels of environmental disclosure.

Over the past 15 years CDP has created a system that has resulted in unparalleled engagement on environmental issues between investors, companies, cities, states and regions worldwide. CDP's data enables our network to link environmental integrity, fiduciary duty and public interest to make better-informed decisions on climate action

CDP is an international organisation, with regional offices and local partners spanning 50 countries. There are now companies, cities, states and regions from over 90 countries that disclose through CDP.
