Request Data

April 2 update: Visit our Disclosure Hub to download our 2025 questionnaire and guidance, and learn more about the minimal changes to this year’s corporate and SME questionnaires.

Request data

For 25 years, CDP has been the pioneer of environmental disclosure, and a trusted advisor in supplier engagement and environmental action.

Requesting through CDP creates the data needed to act. Through CDP, Requesters can access a standardized, globally comparable data set that has many uses.

For financial institutions, data from portfolio companies is critical to uncovering hidden risks and opportunities, providing the tools needed to inform risk-management practices, guide engagement priorities and integrate sustainability considerations into their investment process.

Who can request data?

Each year, hundreds of organizations request or engage their suppliers, portfolios, and other stakeholders to report key environmental data, by disclosing through CDP.

These requesters can include:

  • CDP Supply Chain members, typically large purchasing organizations looking to future-proof their supply chains;

  • Membership/initiatives such as RE100;

  • Private Markets requesters (ie asset owners and fund managers with private market portfolios); and

  • Banks providing supply chain financing solutions to their corporate customers.

Requesters use this data to inform decisions and drive environmental action.

How to request

Requesters must have both a CDP account and access to the Requester Portal. Sign in if you have a CDP account.

If you are a new contact or user, you will need to be added as a team member to your organization and set up with a Requester role. Either a colleague can invite you or you can contact your CDP Account Manager to set you up. Note, you can register for a CDP account either before or after you’ve been added as a team member.

If your company joined CDP’s Supply Chain program in 2025, you will need to complete our Register to Disclose form.

Learn more about accessing and navigating the Portal.

Once you have access to the Portal, you can start building your Request list (ie the list of organizations you are requesting to disclose through CDP).

Returning Requesters can copy a list from the previous disclosure year and edit this for the current cycle as needed.  

Both new and returning Requesters can add organizations to their list from the CDP database. They also have the option initially to make bulk edits to their list using a CSV file once all organizations in their list have a Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number – learn more about DUNS numbers below. 

To ensure CDP has the right contact information for your requested organizations (so they can access their account and disclose), you can either: 

  • Provide your requested organizations’ email address/addresses in your Request list (note, this is a new contact sharing option); or 

  • Direct requested organizations to complete the Register to Disclose form, once this is available from disclosure launch. 

Supply Chain requesters may have the option to provide their organizations' details using domain-based invites. Please speak to your Account Manager for more information. 

If you were not able to share your requested organization’s contact details, you will need to ask them to complete our Register to Disclose form to join the Portal.

    

More articles 

You can submit your Request list once this is completed. The deadline to submit your final request list is June 18, 2025, so requested organizations have sufficient time to respond and disclose. Read more about updating your Request list after submission, below.

Once your list is submitted, your requested organizations will receive an email request to disclose.

If necessary, you can still add and/or remove organizations on your Request list after submitting this. For any new organizations you wish to add, you will need to provide CDP with specific contact information for them.

You will need to resubmit your Request list after you have finished making any changes. Note that any changes submitted after the launch of the questionnaire will need to be approved by the requested organization.

The final deadline to update your Request list is November 19, which is the close of the disclosure cycle. 

Once you have submitted your Request list, you can begin to track your requested organizations’ disclosure status and progress.

The scoring deadline for disclosers is September 17. The platform for disclosers will close on November 19.

利用邓白氏编码改进邀请流程:使用唯一标识符 

为确保这些邀请能送达正确的组织,并建立最准确、最全面的环境信息数据库,CDP 正在与包含 5 亿多家公司的 Dun & Bradstreet 数据库合作,并使用 DUNS 号码作为唯一标识符。 

CDP 数据库中的每家公司都有一个唯一的数据通用编号系统 (DUNS) 编号,该编号由邓白氏公司提供。请注意,城市、州和地区以及其他一些组织不分配 DUNS 编号。 

DUNS 编号,即数据通用编号系统编号,是全球数据提供商邓白氏公司分配给企业的唯一九位数标识符。它是识别企业的通用方法,在商业世界中被广泛用于各种目的,包括信用报告、跟踪金融交易和促进企业间交易。 

公司在寻求与政府机构开展业务、申请拨款、合同或参与某些特定行业计划时,通常需要 DUNS 号码。它们提供了一种标准化的方式,可在不同系统和数据库中唯一标识和跟踪实体。 

从 2024 年披露周期开始,CDP 采用 DUNS 编号作为数据库中公司的唯一标识符。采用 DUNS 编号等唯一标识符可确保数据完整性,降低重复输入或不一致的风险,并使通过 CDP 披露或回复的公司的流程更加高效。 

Dun & Bradstreet 的 DUNS 号码系统提供了一种广受认可的方法来识别全球范围内的实体,其数据库包含超过 5 亿家公司,其中包括私营公司。经过全面审查,我们选择使用 DUNS 号码。  

各种规模的公司都可以在世界任何地方注册 DUNS 号码,这使得 DUNS 最适合满足使用 CDP 门户网站的公司成倍增长的需求。 

All companies in the CDP database will be identified by a DUNS number. Introducing a unique identifier to our CDP database facilitates efficient, scalable data management. The Dun & Bradstreet database contains over 500 million companies. Most of the organizations disclosing through CDP already have a DUNS number.

Cities, states and regions do not need DUNS numbers.

Learn more about resolving issues with DUNS numbers.

如果邓白氏公司已为您的组织注册了 DUNS,您可以通过 CDP 门户网站的组织详情页面查看您的 DUNS 号码。 

如果您不知道自己的 DUNS 号码,可以通过负责发放 DUNS 号码的机构 Dun & Bradstreet 注册来获取

The organizations you are requesting to disclose all need to be registered with Dun & Bradstreet. You can find their DUNS number in the CDP Portal.

Simply use the search-and-find tool on the CDP Portal to look up organizations you would like to request. You can search using a company's name, country, DUNS number and registered office address. Make sure your spelling is correct and start with the company’s registered office address before trying different names or aliases which the company might be known by.

If you cannot find the correct company details on the Portal, you can carry out an extended search. If the search provides incorrect details, you must contact Dun & Bradstreet, as only they can correct the source of this information. Please only add information you know is correct for the organization being searched.

If the extended search comes back blank, please check our Knowledge Article on resolving issues with DUNS numbers. If you need to raise a ticket with My Support on our Help Center, please raise one case listing all the organizations you cannot find and any that you have queried with Dun & Bradstreet to help us respond to you efficiently.

申请和获得 DUNS 编号无需任何费用。不过,您可以支付小额费用,以加快办理过程,更快地获得编号。如果您购买了 DUNS 加急服务,您可以在八个工作日内获得您的号码。 

从 Dun & Bradstreet 收到 DUNS 号码所需的时间各不相同。
