Your need-to-know updates from CDP this month
In a year of heightened uncertainty, one thing is clear: disclosure drives performance.
Every year, nearly US$7 trillion is invested in activities that harm our planet and destabilize our global economy. The cost of inaction for organizations is mounting fast - but there is a solution.
By disclosing today, businesses can lead the way to an Earth-positive future, while unlocking opportunities in the green economy.
As market conditions grow more volatile and risks multiply, business leaders seek clarity and confidence in their decision-making. CDP’s data and insights equip organizations with the critical information they need to seize new opportunities and build long-term resilience. This data also helps companies to future-proof their business models, with investments in climate adaptation and resilience offering returns of up to US$19 for every US$1 spent.
