Who we are
CDP is a global non-profit that runs the world’s only independent environmental disclosure system for companies, capital markets, cities, states and regions to manage their environmental impacts.

OUR VISION
We want to see a world where people, planet, and profit are truly balanced.
OUR MISSION
Our mission is critical. Driven by transparency, we shape and deploy the world’s most comprehensive and valuable environmental disclosure database.
Our partnership matters. Mobilizing influencers in enterprise, capital, policy and science, our data enables decisions that matter most for our planet.
Our commitment is unwavering. Recognizing our responsibility, we continue to build on our independent and convening role to accelerate the change needed.
OUR VALUES
We move together. We find solution.
We champion transparency. We promote optimism.
Our Legacy
Founded in 2000, CDP was the first organization to leverage investor
pressure to influence corporate disclosure on environmental impact. Now with the world’s largest, most comprehensive dataset on environmental action, the insights that CDP holds empower investors, companies, cities, and national and regional governments to make Earth-positive
decisions.
What we do
As the founder of environmental reporting, we believe in transparency and the power of data to drive change, with the richest and most comprehensive dataset on corporate and state action. Partnering with leaders in enterprise, capital, policy and science, we surface the information needed to enable Earth-positive decisions.
Aligned with the ISSB’s climate standard, IFRS S2, as its foundational baseline, CDP integrates best-practice reporting standards and frameworks in one place.

What do our employees' have to say?
-
Climate change is the prime crisis threatening humanity, with ancillary issues like water security and deforestation. Across these themes CDP provides the largest coordination of global resources, with 9,600 large companies and 800 major cities annually reporting on their environmental performance against an agenda we set, and scored according to our criteria. Governments are weak, only CDP can offer you the opportunity to make system change at this global scale.

CDP is a great place to work for anyone looking for a global reach and exposure to tackling environmental issues. The organisation is driven by so many inspiring, intelligent and passionate people, there is always something new to learn. There are great training opportunities for developing both technical and interpersonal skills. As the organisation expands to cover more environmental issues and influence more actors in the global economy, it is a very exciting place to be.

I joined CDP because I wanted to work somewhere I could see I was making a difference. CDP's disclosure system does just that like nowhere else I have worked. Decisions we make drive positive environmental changes across tens of thousands of companies, investors and policy makers every year. Getting those decisions right is essential. I joined CDP as an environmental expert with a history of working in environmental organisations but here I am complemented by experts in capital markets, corporate engagement, policy, IT and more and it is only together we can maximise change. Being part of that process is both an exciting honour and a challenging responsibility, but it results in a fulfilling and stimulating job.
