Is your company ready to submit its CDP disclosure next month? With the July 28 deadline fast approaching, you still have a few weeks to ensure you have the support you need to maximize your performance. As CDP’s Global Scoring and Outsourcing Partner from 2011-2019, ADEC ESG Solutions has unique experience in supporting organizations reporting to CDP.
Why Should Your Organization Disclose to CDP?
In an increasingly sustainability-conscious era compounded by a consistently evolving landscape, there has never been a more compelling case for environmental disclosure. The growing market demand is indisputable, with Morningstar reporting that close to 500 funds added ESG criteria to their prospectuses in 2019. More than 500 investors with USD $106 trillion in assets are requesting thousands of companies to disclose their environmental data through CDP. With reports showing that consumers place greater value on sustainability and transparency, disclosing to CDP helps companies build trust and credibility, and address rising environmental concerns among the general public.
Transparency and reporting have long been on the upswing for companies, and 2020 underscored the critical need for strong environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles to build resiliency through other global crises. Companies can effectively organize their response to this year’s CDP disclosure by leveraging external resources, such as third-party disclosure experts.
