For any organisation, disclosing accurate emissions and sustainability data is an important step towards building investor and stakeholder trust, complying with legislation and improving carbon management.
CDP is an independent not for profit organisation that runs a global disclosure system that enables companies to monitor, measure and manage their environmental impacts. Over 9,500 companies disclose information through CDP, and it allows hundreds of investors with over $100 trillion in assets to make informed decisions.
The demand for organisations to monitor and disclose information about their climate change and environmental performance is growing; this is a key driver of actionable change and progress in carbon management.
Independent verification from LRQA assures the accuracy, credibility and completeness of the information and data a company discloses. Through verification and disclosure to CDP, organisations can take a crucial step towards effective carbon management and reduction.
