Looking up into a tree canopy from below

Under the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), more than 50,000 organizations worldwide will need to disclose environmental, social, and governance information.

CDP prepares you, by ensuring you are collecting much of the data that the CSRD requires and sharing it with those who need it now.

Unlock benefits beyond CSRD reporting with CDP

With CDP, your data goes beyond compliance and is utilized in the following ways:

Our disclosure platform is the mechanism to transparently track corporate action on climate and nature, providing stakeholders with the evidence they need to drive effective action. Annual, globally-comparable environmental datasets are shared with and used by over 700 capital market signatories that ask companies every year for this data through CDP.

CDP is the only global, independent platform providing a comparable single source of truth of primary corporate sustainability information directly to key decision-makers. With the same CDP dataset, you can share European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), Task Force on Nature-Related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) or US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) climate disclosure rule-aligned data directly with investors, lenders, and procurement teams across the globe.

Three hundred and forty of the largest global multinationals are engaging their suppliers to disclose quality data through CDP's Supply Chain program. In the EU, our Supply Chain members drive nearly one-third of CDP climate disclosures globally.

CDP data is integrated into financial research products and ratings, such as MSCI and Standard & Poor’s, as well as financial indices, (eg Euronext CDP Water Eurozone Index) that filter by CDP response or score.

Benchmark your environmental performance against your industry peers and receive feedback on your progress each year through the CDP score.

Nearly 25 years after CDP pioneered environmental disclosure, this is recognized by corporates, capital markets, municipalities, governments and scientists alike.

Our data shows that companies that have worked with CDP over the years are in a better position to comply with EU regulations, with the majority already well prepared to start disclosing in line with the European standards.

Through the CDP Portal, you can collect globally comparable ESRS-aligned data on your own operations and value chain, preparing you for compliance – whether you’re in scope now or in coming years.
