What is CDP?
CDP runs to change the manner business world operates to mitigate the impacts of climate change and conserve natural resources. CDP, a not-for-profit London-based international charity, acts as an intermediary for public companies to disclose and report to investors how they use natural resources and natural capital, how they affect the reproduction of limited resources by means of their activities, and how they manage their risks in this area.
