The Carbon Disclosure Project: Why Should Companies Participate?

Incorporating climate change risks and opportunities into business strategy is becoming an important part of future business prospects for both high- and low-carbon impact companies. Companies across a range of sectors will need to assess existing and potential impacts of climate change on strategy, risks management, business operations, and financial performance. This executive action looks at the Carbon Disclosure Project and how it can help companies meet the challenge of climate change. Overall, climate change disclosure, through the CDP, can allow companies to make better-informed climate change management decisions.
