CDP Calls Disclosure an Economic Imperative as Three ASPs Renew Partnerships

CDP's 2025 Disclosure Dividend report identifies environmental disclosure as an economic imperative rather than a transparency exercise, with companies that act on disclosure data unlocking measurable financial returns. Three Accredited Solutions Providers — Accenture, Sphera, and Wastebox — have renewed their partnerships with CDP to support organisations in translating disclosure insights into operational improvements.

CDP's Disclosure Dividend 2025 report, cited as the basis for renewed ASP engagement, documents a growing shift in how companies use environmental data: from compliance reporting towards strategic decision-making. Accenture, a global Gold consultancy ASP based in the UK, supports clients in integrating sustainability into strategy, operations, and culture to meet stakeholder expectations and build financial and non-financial value. Sphera, a Silver US-based software provider serving 8,500 customers across 100 countries, offers integrated sustainability and operational risk management software spanning GHG accounting, environment, health, safety, and supply chain transparency.

Wastebox, a Silver Japan-based consultancy specialising in carbon measurement and management, brings over 10 years of experience in organisational and product carbon footprint measurement, lifecycle assessment, and SBTi-aligned target setting. The renewal of these three partnerships signals continued investment in the ASP infrastructure that supports corporate disclosure globally. As more organisations disclose for the first time or seek to improve their CDP scores ahead of the 2025 cycle close, ASP expertise in areas including Scope 3 accounting and TCFD-aligned scenario analysis is in growing demand.

CDP's ASP programme is designed to complement in-house sustainability teams at companies ranging from large multinational corporations to organisations disclosing for the first time. The breadth of ASP coverage — spanning Asia, Europe, and North America — ensures companies can access geographically relevant expertise. For Indian companies preparing for expanded BRSR disclosures or beginning ISSB-aligned reporting, the availability of experienced third-party solution providers represents a significant resource for accelerating sustainability data infrastructure development.
