Sustainability and environmental responsibility are becoming essential aspects of modern business. One of the key tools that enable companies to quantify and manage their environmental impact is the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP).
In 2024, the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) took another step in the evolution of corporate environmental reporting. New areas, such as biodiversity and plastics, were added to the assessment, while the processes for reporting on climate change, forests, and water were streamlined. What were the key developments this year, and what can we expect in 2025? This article will explore the main changes and challenges companies will face in the next CDP assessment and how they can prepare for them.
As climate change continues to be a major global issue, companies are under increasing pressure to contribute actively to environmental protection. One of the most significant tools for assessing corporate environmental impact is the CDP platform. CDP is a nonprofit organization that has been helping companies, cities, and governments transparently report their environmental impacts for over 20 years while also providing tools to improve sustainability. Every year, thousands of organizations worldwide respond to CDP questionnaires, focusing on areas such as climate change mitigation, biodiversity protection, and sustainable management of water resources and forests.
