CDP

About

CDP is a not-for-profit charity that runs the global disclosure system for investors, companies, cities, states and regions to manage their environmental impacts. The world’s economy looks to CDP as the gold standard of environmental reporting with the richest and most comprehensive dataset on corporate and city action. Our vision and mission is to see a thriving economy that works for people and planet in the long term. We focus investors, companies, cities and governments on building a sustainable economy by measuring and acting on their environmental impact. Founded in 2000 as the Carbon Disclosure Project, CDP has broadened the scope of environmental disclosure to encompass a greater range of issues. We support thousands of businesses, cities, states and regions with measuring and managing their associated risks and opportunities in relation to climate change, water security and deforestation. The need for urgent climate action is pressing as we aim to prevent catastrophic climate change and the irreversible loss of nature. By disclosing environmental data, organizations can make informed decisions that not only mitigate risks but also identify innovative solutions for a sustainable future.
