Who can request data through CDP?
Each year, hundreds of organizations request or engage their suppliers, portfolios, members, and other stakeholders to report key environmental data, by disclosing through CDP.
Requesters can include:
CDP Supply Chain members, typically large purchasing organizations looking to future-proof their supply chains – this is also referred to as a ‘customer request’ or ‘Supply Chain request’;
CDP Capital Markets Signatories (via CDP’s Letter to the Board) seeking reported environmental data from public companies (that they hold ownership in, through equity or investment through debt), to make their portfolios more resilient and ensure long-term sustainability;
Data users who license our data, such as academics, companies, financial institutions, NGOs and charities;
Private Markets such as asset owners and fund managers with private market portfolios;
Banks providing supply chain financing solutions to their corporate customers;
Associations and coalitions such as RE100, C40 Cities, ICLEI, the Global Covenant of Mayors, Regions4 and the Under2 Coalition;
Subnational governments; and
Environmental campaigns, pledges, programs and other civil society organizations working with companies and subnational governments to drive Earth-positive action.
