Every year, thousands of companies are participating in quite extensive surveys organized by CDP.

It takes months for companies to prepare their responses to CDP, which are often several hundred pages long.

What is CDP and how does it manage to bring some of the world’s largest organizations to their disclosure platform?

What is CDP?

CDP is a not-for-profit organization that runs the global climate disclosure system on behalf of institutional investors. CDP prioritizes transparency in climate change-related practices of organizations. Through CDP's annual questionnaires, companies disclose Climate Change, Water Security, and Forests-related practices.

Why report to CDP?

Growing demand for sustainability and transparency with investors and the public requires large corporations to be more efficient and accountable for their operations and actions. CDP questionnaires help corporations to:


  • Reduce financial risk

  • Get guidance on emission reductions and Science-Based Targets (SBT) 

  • Align with Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosure (TCFD)

  • Prepare for environmental and sectoral regulations

  • Boost credibility with investors
