What is CDP

The CDP (formerly known as the Carbon Disclosure Project) is not a protocol but an international non-profit organization that runs a global disclosure system for investors, companies, cities, states, and regions to manage their environmental impacts. The CDP provides a platform for organizations to disclose and manage their environmental data, with a particular focus on climate-related information.

Guidance for companies

Companies can disclose in response to a request from an investor, a customer, or both. This page covers the basics of the information request and shows some of the guidance that is available. CDP’s full suite of guidance materials and recorded webinars can be accessed from the guidance tool. View instructions on how to use CDP’s disclosure platform, including the guidance tool.
Investors and customers can request information from companies through CDP’s climate change, forests, and water security questionnaires. Take a look at the latest questionnaires to see what questions you will be asked to respond to
