CDP External Stakeholder Usability Testing Working Groups

Browse upcoming groups

Contribute to future CDP developments.

CDP has grown and evolved rapidly since our inception alongside our ambition to drive the crucial and urgent change needed to build a sustainable economy for people and planet.

In our 2025 strategy, we highlighted the need to accelerate the rate of that change. We’re currently in the process of improving our systems, structures and processes to help us achieve this.



How to get involved

We are inviting individuals who work with us, or may do so in the future, to participate in research to test our current systems as we continue to develop and evolve them. This form of research with users is known as ‘usability testing’ and will be conducted remotely online.

This is your opportunity to provide feedback so we can understand your organization’s needs as we improve our systems.
