CDP Disclosure

What is CDP Disclosure

CDP Disclosure is a globally recognised environmental reporting framework that enables organisations to transparently report their performance on climate change, water security, and deforestation. A strong CDP score enhances investor confidence, strengthens supply chain competitiveness, supports ESG objectives, and demonstrates a credible commitment to environmental sustainability and responsible business practices.

Every year, thousands of organisations around the world submit environmental data through CDP — and yet many treat it as a box-ticking exercise rather than the strategic opportunity it truly represents.
CDP (formerly the Carbon Disclosure Project) is far more than a questionnaire. It is the lens through which financial institutions and global procurement teams assess whether a company genuinely understands and manages its environmental footprint — across climate change, water security, and deforestation.
What sets CDP apart from other reporting frameworks is its scoring rigour. Your submission is evaluated and publicly scored — from D (disclosure) through to A (leadership) — and that score follows your organisation in investor databases, ESG rating platforms, and customer supplier portals.
A company that discloses well does not just satisfy a requirement; it positions itself as a credible, forward-thinking business in a world increasingly shaped by climate accountability.
For manufacturing and service organisations navigating supply chain pressures, investor expectations, and evolving regulatory environments, CDP Disclosure has shifted from voluntary best practice to commercial necessity.

Key Requirements of CDP Disclosure

Effective CDP Disclosure requires organisations to establish reliable environmental data, robust governance, and transparent reporting processes. By measuring emissions, assessing climate risks, setting improvement targets, and ensuring high-quality disclosures, organisations can strengthen ESG performance, improve CDP scores, and demonstrate credible environmental leadership to investors, customers, and other stakeholders.

Measurement and structured reporting of greenhouse gas emissions across all three scopes - direct operations, purchased energy, and value chain activities
Climate risk and opportunity assessments framed within the TCFD architecture, addressing both physical and transition risks across short, medium, and long-term horizons
Evidence of board-level governance over environmental topics, including documented oversight mechanisms and management responsibilities
Emissions reduction targets — whether science-based, sector-specific, or internally committed — with supporting progress data
Water consumption, stress exposure, and stewardship data for organisations responding to the water security questionnaire
Supply chain deforestation disclosures for commodity-linked businesses in applicable sectors
Year-on-year data comparability, enabling trend assessment and performance trajectory analysis
Submission aligned with CDP's disclosure cycle, with data quality sufficient to withstand third-party scrutiny
