CDP’s research team was recognized for its leading work in the following categories:
- Number 1 for climate change research

Carole Ferguson, Head of Investor Research at CDP said: “We are delighted to be recognized for the third year running as the global leader of climate change research. Investors have a key role to play in shifting capital to drive forward the low carbon transition, and our research gives investors the framework to assess how well companies and sectors are positioned for this transition.”
Launched in February 2015, CDP’s research series provides in-depth analysis to investors, linking climate change metrics for each sector to financial performance.
