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.
