Expert Support for Credible, High-Scoring CDP Disclosure
CDP (formerly the Carbon Disclosure Project) is a global environmental disclosure system used by investors, customers, and regulators to assess how effectively organisations manage climate change, water security, and deforestation risks through CDP climate reporting, CDP water disclosure, and CDP forests reporting. High-quality CDP disclosure is becoming increasingly critical to business credibility, regulatory compliance, and long-term competitiveness.
Turning Carbon Disclosure Complexity into Competitive Advantage
Carbon disclosure is complex—but that complexity creates competitive advantage for organisations that get it right. With the majority of emissions typically sitting in Scope 3, leading companies distinguish themselves by building the capability to collect, verify, and act on value-chain data that others struggle to access. By replacing fragmented systems and manual processes with robust data infrastructure and governance, organisations improve data quality, reduce audit and compliance risk, and gain clearer visibility of emissions hotspots and efficiency opportunities. Staying ahead of evolving measurement methodologies and reporting standards lowers regulatory and legal risk and enables quicker, more confident strategic decisions. As regulation tightens and investor scrutiny increases, organisations that transform carbon disclosure into a structured, repeatable capability strengthen trust, improve access to capital, and position sustainability as a driver of long-term performance rather than a compliance burden.
“Acclaro Advisory’s expertise in sustainability reporting and disclosure was invaluable in helping us navigate the significant changes to the CDP questionnaire. Their in-depth CDP scoring gap analysis provided clear, actionable recommendations that enhanced our transparency and strengthened our climate-related disclosures.”

Benefits of CDP Reporting
1. Builds Investor & Customer Confidence
Disclosure through CDP provides comparable, decision-useful climate and environmental data that is widely relied upon in investment decisions, procurement, and supply-chain engagement. High-quality CDP disclosure enhances credibility, supports access to capital, and strengthens relationships with customers and commercial partners.
2. Strengthens Climate Risk Management and Strategy
CDP disclosure enables organisations to identify, assess, and manage climate-related risks and opportunities, embedding environmental insights into governance, corporate strategy, and financial planning. This integration supports more resilient business strategies and helps move beyond standalone sustainability initiatives toward enterprise-wide decision-making.
3. Improves Data Quality and Decarbonisation Planning
The structured nature of CDP reporting drives stronger ESG data management, more accurate emissions measurement, and greater supply-chain visibility across Scope 1, 2, and 3. Improved data quality increases internal accountability, supports effective decarbonisation and transition planning, and enables organisations to track progress against climate targets with greater confidence.
4. Enhances Reputation and Regulatory Readiness
Strong CDP performance enhances corporate reputation and competitive positioning, clearly differentiating climate leaders from peers. It also supports readiness for evolving climate-reporting regulations and frameworks, helping organisations reduce reputational risk and prepare for future compliance. As a result, carbon disclosure becomes a practical tool for sustainability-led business transformation—not just a reporting requirement.
