CDP Expands Accredited Solutions Provider Network for 2025 Disclosure Cycle

ESG Broadcast Desk· 12 Dec 2024· 2 min read

CDP has announced new and renewing members of its Accredited Solutions Provider network, which supports organisations in navigating the platform's alignment with major sustainability disclosure frameworks. The network covers CDP's interoperability with IFRS S2, TCFD, TNFD and the European Sustainability Reporting Standards, helping companies manage overlapping regulatory requirements through a single disclosure.

New providers joining CDP's network include Carbonology, a UK-based emissions verification firm specialising in ISO 14064 standards and assurance for CSRD and the EU Green Claims Directive; CSR Design Green Investment Advisory, a Japan-based consultancy focused on green building and sustainable finance; and several renewing providers including global software platform Benchmark Gensuite and enterprise carbon measurement firm Watershed. CDP's framework alignment means that a single disclosure can satisfy requirements across ISSB, TCFD, ESRS and TNFD frameworks simultaneously.

CDP has published a correspondence mapping between its question bank and ESRS E1, the European climate reporting standard, and has supported the launch of two TNFD capacity-building tools. The provider network spans verification, consultancy and software solutions across multiple geographies, including emerging markets. Providers such as ImplementaSUR in Chile and JMA in Japan extend CDP's support capacity into regions where ESG disclosure infrastructure remains less developed. CDP explicitly encourages women-owned and minority-owned providers as well as those based in emerging economies to join the network.

As mandatory ESG disclosure frameworks including CSRD and ISSB-aligned national rules take effect across major economies, the role of accredited solution providers in helping companies achieve compliance is expected to grow. Companies disclosing through CDP in 2025 are encouraged to engage an Accredited Solutions Provider to support questionnaire responses, framework alignment, GHG accounting, risk assessment and external assurance. CDP describes its approach as a write-once-use-many model, where a single disclosure dataset serves regulatory, investor and procurement requirements across jurisdictions.
