Who we are

CDP (formerly Carbon Disclosure Project) is a global non-profit organization founded in 2000 and headquartered in London. We have pioneered and provided the world's only global natural capital disclosure system, where more than 8,500 companies represent more than 50% of the market capitalization of the world's 30 largest stock exchanges, and 750 cities in 100 countries report, share and take action on vital environmental information.

We operate our global disclosure system on behalf of more than 500 institutional investors representing more than a third of the world's invested capital and more than 150 corporations with $3 trillion in annual purchase spending. The insights it brings allow investors, businesses, cities and governments to understand and act in the case of business to reduce impacts on the environment and natural resources.
