Over 23,100 Organisations Disclose Environmental Data Through CDP in 2025

More than 23,100 organisations across the world voluntarily disclosed environmental data through CDP in 2025, providing investors, companies, and policymakers with decision-ready information on climate change, water security, forests, biodiversity, and plastics. Investors managing US$127 trillion in assets requested the data, while major corporate buyers asked approximately 45,000 suppliers to disclose through CDP's Supply Chain programme.

Over 22,100 businesses representing nearly two-thirds of global market capitalisation disclosed through CDP in 2025, including more than 4,400 companies doing so for the first time. Nearly 11,000 small- to medium-sized enterprises disclosed through CDP's dedicated SME questionnaire in its second year, expanding the programme's reach to smaller businesses across major and emerging markets. Coverage spanned all major economic sectors and regions, from North America and Europe to Asia-Pacific and emerging economies.

Nature-related transparency showed strong growth in 2025, with CDP expanding questions on biodiversity, water, and plastics across its integrated questionnaire. Over 1,000 cities, states, and regions representing more than one billion people across 80 countries also disclosed environmental progress, with first-time disclosures from subnational governments increasing by more than 60%. This breadth of coverage reinforces CDP's position as the world's primary voluntary environmental disclosure system.

CDP research indicates that every US$1 spent on responding to climate risk generates returns of up to US$21, a data point the organisation uses to encourage continued participation despite geopolitical headwinds. The 2025 factsheet reflects sustained corporate and government commitment to environmental disclosure even as some regulatory timelines have shifted. CDP argues that connecting disclosure with action will help more companies identify economic advantages while building long-term business resilience.
