Report to CDP

How to share information on your company’s impact on and approach to climate through CDP’s voluntary disclosure platform

Quick Guide: how to report in line with CDP

CDP (formerly known as Carbon Disclosure Project) operates a global disclosure platform where your company can annually report its impact on and approach to climate, water, and forests and receive a score.

CDP requires a high degree of transparency from businesses across 15 climate-related topics, including a climate-related risk and opportunities assessment in line with TCFD’s recommendations. CDP disclosure is voluntary (but may be required by your investors or other stakeholders) and can be completed alongside other reports.

From 2024, CDP’s climate questionnaire is fully aligned with the requirements of IFRS S2, ISSB’s standard relating to disclosure of climate-related risk and opportunities.
