CDP: Definition
CDP, initially founded as the ‘Carbon Disclosure Project’ in the year 2000, initiated its mission by requesting companies to divulge their climate-related effects. Over time, its purview has expanded to encompass a wider spectrum of environmental disclosures, including matters like deforestation and water security. Concurrently, CDP has extended its outreach to provide assistance to cities, states, and regions in their environmental initiatives.Learn more about CDP and how to report here.
