The CDP is an international, not-for-profit organization providing the only global system to measure, disclose, manage, and share vital environmental information. The CDP harnesses the power of market forces, including 822 institutional investors with assets of US$95 trillion, to collect information from companies on their greenhouse gas emissions and assessment of climate change and other issues related to the environment.
