CDP Corporate Health Check 2026

CDP's second annual Corporate Health Check, produced in collaboration with Oliver Wyman, examines how the world's largest companies are progressing on their environmental commitments and what this means for their financial performance.

Drawing on data disclosed through CDP, the report shows the levers these business leaders are pulling to improve performance and take advantage of environmental opportunities. Companies scoring at Leadership level – the highest rating of the four categories in the CDP assessment – are setting the pace for corporate action across climate and nature while also realizing the financial benefits.

Building environmental and climate resilience is not only about managing risks. Our analysis shows that Leadership companies in this year’s assessment realized a total of US$218 billion in environmental opportunities over the last 12 months. Despite a challenging political and economic landscape, large corporations across sectors and regions remain committed to acting on their environmental risks.

The 2026 snapshot of business progress finds that:

These global leaders are cutting emissions at an average Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of ~ 4% (compared to 1% for companies at other levels) while using the transition to drive new revenue opportunities and improve efficiency.

Europe remains strong, Japan has emerged as a leader, and the United States is behind. On average, companies in the US score lower on climate performance (assessing, managing, and reducing their climate-related impacts and risks) compared with other economies. Only 31% of US companies achieved the highest two levels in our analysis, falling behind Japan (74%), China (54%) and the European Union (52%).

An examination of market capitalization and climate scores reveals that in over half of the sectors – seven out of 13 – climate leaders are showing higher or similar market growth compared to those at the lowest performance level.

Organizations reporting via CDP face US$1.47 trillion in reported environmental physical risks, with 26% of that risk found in the short term. Despite this exposure, only 9% of the companies assessed disclosed physical adaptation investments last year (US$84.5 billion total), highlighting a major gap in finance disclosures.

This year, we identified the most meaningful levers available to companies are:

Linking executive pay to environmental performance;
Robust processes for managing environmental dependencies, impacts, risks and opportunities;
A 1.5°C degree-aligned climate transition plan with ambitious environmental targets; and
Value chain engagement.

A small group of leaders – 15% of all companies assessed – are setting themselves apart by implementing robust environmental strategies.

Yearly progress is uneven across the globe.

Climate leadership and strong financial performance are not mutually exclusive.

Leading companies have been assessing and disclosing physical environmental risks. It is now time for them to build resilience by investing in adaptation.
