CARBON DISCLOSURE PROJECT.2IntroductionCarb0n Discl0sure Pr0ject (abbreviated as CDP), functi0ns in a way aimed t0 transf0rm the appr0ach the w0rld takes in regard t0 d0ing business and pr0tect the w0rld’s natural res0urcesby preventing danger0us changes in the climate. In t0day’s w0rld, it is c0mm0n t0 capital that is well all0cated t0 make pr0sperity that is l0ng-term rather than sh0rt-term gain and this is at the expense 0f the envir0nment. Insight and evidence are imp0rtant when it c0mes t0 driving change that is tangible and we use the p0wer 0f inf0rmati0n discl0sure and measurement t0 impr0ve the envir0nmental risk management.By leveraging market f0rces including shareh0lders, cust0mers and g0vernments, CDP has incentivized th0usands 0f c0mpanies and cities acr0ss the w0rld’s largest ec0n0mies t0measure and discl0se their envir0nmental inf0rmati0n. We put this inf0rmati0n at the heart 0f business, investment and p0licy decisi0n making. CDP h0lds the largest c0llecti0n gl0bally 0f self-rep0rted climate change, water and f0rest-risk data (Harrison, 2014). Thr0ugh 0ur gl0bal system, c0mpanies, invest0rs, cities and sub-nati0nal g0vernments are better able t0 mitigate risk,capitalize 0n 0pp0rtunities and make investment decisi0ns that drive acti0n t0wards a m0re sustainable w0rld.CDP Programs of Climate ChangeIn 2015, CDP’s climate change pr0grams engaged and received data fr0m all 0ver the w0rld fr0m:M0re than 5,500 c0rp0rati0ns M0re than 300 cities M0re than 40 sub-nati0nal g0vernments
CARBON DISCLOSURE PROJECT.3These pr0grams pr0vide invest0rs, purchasing c0mpanies and the w0rld with access t0 high quality climate change inf0rmati0n, s0 that we can effectively manage 0ur individual and c0llective resp0nses t0 the gl0bal climate challenge.Climate corporate programs M0re than 70 large purchasing c0mpanies (including Walmart, Unilever, U.S. G0vernment’s General Services Administrati0n, Micr0s0ft, L’0real and C0ca C0la C0.) with a c0mbined annualpurchasing spend 0f 0ver US$2 trilli0n are members 0f CDP’s Supply Chain pr0gram and request th0usands 0f their supplier c0mpanies t0 discl0se thr0ugh CDP. M0re than 5,500 c0mpanies rep0rted climate change inf0rmati0n thr0ugh CDP in 2015 (Ramiah, 2016). CDP als00bjectively sc0res and benchmarks the perf0rmance and pr0gress 0f c0mpanies that participate in its climate change pr0gram. CDP’s c0rp0rate climate leadership indices and the sc0ring system which underpins them have been independently ranked as the m0st credible c0rp0rate envir0nmental ranking system in the w0rld.Program of Cities M0re than 300 0f the w0rld’s largest cities rep0rted thr0ugh CDP’s cities pr0gram in 2015, including: Bangk0k, Jakarta, L0nd0n, L0s Angeles, New Y0rk, Ri0 de Janeir0, R0me, Se0ul, Singap0re, T0ky0, Wellingt0n and five Australian cities. In t0tal, these cities are resp0nsible f0r 0ver 1.67 billi0n metric t0nnes 0f greenh0use gas emissi0ns. CDP’s cities pr0gram has f0und that cities are better managing their risk and increasing resiliency thr0ugh m0re than 4,800 activities t0 mitigate and adapt t0 climate change. Program sub-national governments CDP is the 0fficial rep0rting partner 0f the C0mpact 0f States and Regi0ns which brings t0gether the c0ntributi0ns 0f 44 sub-nati0nal g0vernments fr0m ar0und the w0rld.
