CDP Expands Accredited Solutions Provider Network Ahead of 2026 Disclosure Cycle

ESG Broadcast Desk· 12 Dec 2024· 1 min read

CDP has welcomed new and renewed Accredited Solutions Providers (ASPs) to its global network as organisations prepare for the 2026 environmental disclosure cycle, now in its 25th year. The expanded provider network includes consultancy, software, verification, and renewable energy specialists across Japan, the US, UK, Czechia, Slovakia, and Taiwan, offering companies support across CDP's climate, forests, water, and biodiversity questionnaires.

New to the CDP ASP network is 3R Sustainability, a US-based silver consultancy offering CDP disclosure support aligned to ISO 14064 and the Greenhouse Gas Protocol. Eight existing ASPs have renewed their partnerships, including Benchmark Gensuite, a global gold software provider with AI-integrated environmental health, safety, and sustainability reporting capabilities. Japanese providers feature prominently in the renewals, including BrainFirm, JMA Sustainability Center, JQA, and UPDATER, reflecting Japan's position as a leading CDP disclosure region.

The renewal of ASPs such as CEMAsys — which has supported over 500 CDP disclosures across 800 clients in 70 countries — and CEN Group underscores the growing commercial ecosystem around CDP reporting. As mandatory reporting frameworks including the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive and emerging Asian regulations raise the bar for environmental disclosure quality, companies are increasingly turning to accredited specialists to ensure their data meets investor and regulatory standards.

CDP's 25th year of operation marks a period of intensifying regulatory and investor pressure on corporate environmental disclosure globally. Companies starting or expanding their CDP journey in 2026 can access the ASP network through CDP's online directory, filterable by region, expertise, and service type. The inclusion of renewable energy solution providers and verification bodies in the network reflects the broadening scope of environmental disclosure beyond reporting to include assurance, renewable procurement, and transition planning.
