Carbon Reporting through the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP); A global system of disclosing environmental impacts.
The Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) provides a central point through which organisations disclose their environmental impacts. Specifically, it encompasses climate change, water security, and deforestation. The CDP collects and shares data on these issues to drive sustainability efforts, support investment decisions, and also promote transparency.
The most common request Blue Marble receives is from companies who have been asked by a customer to complete a CDP disclosure in order to be able to start supplying or continue to supply goods or services. Customers often request this alongside an EcoVadis submission.
Companies, SMEs, Cities, States and regions all have their own questionnaire. The SME questionnaire contains fewer and simplified data points than the full version because the target is companies with less than 1000 employees, or annual revenue more $250 million. The questions target companies to disclose their environmental impact in a public forum, of which it will receive a score.
