Event Summary

CDP>>>, the global environmental disclosure system, is undergoing a significant transformation, splitting into two distinct organizations: a commercial entity named CDP>>> and a non-profit, charitable organization called CDP>>>. The commercial CDP>>> will continue to provide environmental data and disclosure services, backed by global investment firm Permira>>>. Permira>>>'s investment aims to accelerate CDP>>>'s growth and innovation, particularly in technology and product development, to simplify the disclosure experience and deliver more valuable insights. The CDP>>> will focus on pioneering science and translating it into action-ready disclosure methods, informing the evolution of CDP>>>'s question bank. Both organizations will share a common goal of promoting trusted, science-led environmental disclosure to enable Earth-positive decisions. This strategic move is intended to sharpen CDP>>>'s focus, allowing for greater investment in tools and services for disclosers and data users, while the CDP>>> concentrates on planetary health indicators. The completion of this transformation is subject to regulatory approvals, including from the Charity Commission, and is anticipated within the next six months.
