Job Purpose and Background in summary

About CDP

CDP is a not-for-profit charity that runs the global disclosure system for investors, companies, cities, states and regions to manage their environmental impacts.

In 2024 more than 24,000 companies, representing around 70% of the global market capitalization, and 1000 Cities, States and Regions disclosed their environmental impact data through CDP.
