Disclose across all themes
CDP runs the world’s only independent environmental disclosure system, evolving our questionnaire and forging powerful partnerships to ensure disclosed data goes further and faster.
CDP’s single corporate questionnaire empowers companies to better assess the full extent of the environmental risks, impacts and opportunities in their operations, supply chain, product and service offerings, and financial decisions, and to understand how environmental relationships are connected. Since its introduction last year, almost two-thirds of companies are now disclosing nature-related information beyond climate, an increase of 21%.
All corporate disclosers now have the option to disclose on biodiversity and plastics, giving every organization the opportunity to report across all issues required by capital markets or regulators.
Climate Change
Improving corporate awareness through measurement and disclosure is essential to the effective management of carbon and climate change risk.
Water Security
The world faces a water crisis impacting the stability of the global economy – a major financial risk to companies that also serves as a significant opportunity.
Forests
CDP provides companies, financial institutions, states and regions with opportunities to measure and manage their forest-related dependencies, impacts, risks and opportunities.
Plastics
Companies and capital markets can measure their plastic-related impact to better manage risks and opportunities, and transparently disclose the total weight and raw material content of their plastic products.
Biodiversity
Companies and capital markets can measure their biodiversity-related dependencies to better manage their impact, risks and opportunities.
