What is the CDP?
The CDP, formerly known as the Carbon Disclosure Project, is an international not-for-profit organization whose ambition is to generalize the publication of data on the environmental impact and climate strategies of companies and cities.
Founded in London in 2000, the CDP has succeeded in speeding up the public disclosure of companies' environmental impact, based in particular on investors' demands for transparency from their companies. At a time when regulatory standards on extra-financial reporting are struggling to emerge, the CDP collects environmental data from thousands of companies every year , and today represents one of the largest and most accurate corporate environmental databases in the world.
Today, the CDP helps more than 18,700 companies and over 1,100 cities and states to measure and manage their risks and opportunities in terms of climate change, water security and deforestation.
What is the CDP's mission?
The environmental reporting standard developed by CDP enables financial and public markets to compare the climate performance, level of commitment and ambition of companies in favor of the ecological transition.
In addition to standardizing the data required for serious climate reporting, the CDP operates in a similar way to a rating agency for corporate environmental performance. Each year, the CDP takes into account the information provided as part of its annual reporting process and rates companies and cities on the various aspects considered (Climate, Water, Forest), encouraging them to become leaders in terms of transparency and environmental action.
Thanks to its independent rating methodology, CDP measures the progress made by companies and cities, and encourages concrete action on climate change, forest preservation and water resource security.
What is CDP partner certification?
CDP has launched an accreditation program for suppliers of environmental solutions and services, to help organizations reporting to CDP to identify quality suppliers and accelerate their transition to environmental leadership.
Accredited solution providers support organizations working with the CDP to improve their level of disclosure and take the necessary action for a sustainable economy. From renewable energy experts to software platforms and verification bodies, CDP-accredited suppliers offer a wide range of skills and services to help companies implement their sustainability strategies.
Thanks to an accreditation process that includes reference checks, CDP has built up a reliable network of accredited solution providers worldwide.

What is the CDP partner accreditation process?
In addition to the various safety-related requirements, the main criterion assessed for CDP certification is testimonials from at least 6 customer references, including a minimum of three companies responding annually to the CDP and three major corporations.
These references are asked to respond regarding the types of services requested, the quality of services provided, the value for money of the solution or its ROI, and finally how comfortable the company would be in recommending the evaluated solution to a peer.
