What is CDP?

The CDP Global Environmental Information Research Center is an international non-profit organization established in 2000. It is responsible for operating the global environmental disclosure system and providing support to many companies, cities and regions.

At present, CDP cooperates with more than 590 institutional investors with total assets of more than 110 trillion US dollars worldwide, and is the first to use capital markets and corporate procurement to encourage companies to disclose their environmental impacts, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and protect water and forest resources.

In 2020, more than 10,000 organizations worldwide (including 9,600 companies that account for more than half of the global market value) and more than 940 cities and regions with a combined population of more than 2.6 billion will disclose environmental data through CDP. CDP has the world's largest environmental database, and its information disclosure guidelines are fully consistent with the Climate-Related Financial Information Disclosure Working Group (TCFD). CDP scores are widely used to drive investment and procurement decisions to create a zero-carbon economy with good sustainability and risk resistance.
