Understanding the CDP

The CDP, or Carbon Disclosure Project, operates as an independent system for environmental information disclosure. Many organizations utilize the CDP framework to manage their environmental impact effectively. By providing comprehensive data regarding companies’ environmental actions, the CDP promotes transparency and harnesses the power of data to drive change. Collaborating with leaders across business, finance, policy, and science, the CDP enables informed decision-making for more Earth-positive outcomes.

The CDP's disclosure system consolidates the best practices of disclosure standards and frameworks, such as those set by ISSB and TNFD, into a singular questionnaire format, simplifying the reporting process.
