Global financial institutions, major buyers, consumers and other stakeholders demand to know a company’s environmental standing before granting their support and loyalty. They know that environmental risk can equal financial risks.   

For more than 25 years, the CDP (formerly known as the Carbon Disclosure Project) has been encouraging and helping companies and governments to disclose their environmental impact, particularly regarding climate change, water security and deforestation.  

Entities disclose their impact reports to the CDP in a response window that opens each summer. Investors and financial institutions use that data to assess climate risks in their portfolios. Supply chain managers leverage it to rate suppliers. And governments and policy makers factor CDP into their public reports.   

Failure to report environmental data to the CDP could result in an “F” grade, which can send the wrong message to interested stakeholders. 

Whether you are preparing for your first submission or want to improve your recent CDP report, Sphera, a CDP Accredited Solutions Provider, can help guide you through the process.
