Workiva, a provider of business data and reporting solutions, has integrated CDP’s environmental disclosure system into its ESG reporting solution to help companies streamline their responses to CDP questionnaires. CDP operates a global environmental disclosure system that allows stakeholders to monitor organizations’ performance in environmental sustainability areas like climate change, deforestation, and water security. Workiva’s ESG reporting solution was launched in 2021, and the integration aims to simplify the complex process of responding to CDP questionnaires. The integration leverages Workiva’s ESG data and program management hub, ESG Program, and ESG Explorer, which allows users to browse reporting frameworks and identify relevant disclosures.
“This is a significant and timely addition to Workiva’s ESG reporting solution, and I believe it will be a game-changer—not only for sustainability professionals, but for the finance, audit, and risk management teams that are now responsible for corporate climate disclosures as well.”
Paul Dickinson, CDP Founder and Chair, and ESG advisor for Workiva,
Paul Volpe, Senior Vice President of Growth and Head of ESG Solutions at Workiva, said:
“There’s no time to wait. ESG reporting is quickly becoming a board-level mandate. Not only are organizations tasked with meeting their ESG commitments and science-based targets, leaders are making critical business decisions by evaluating both financial and ESG data together. Workiva is committed to investing in continuous innovation and working with partners like CDP to help more companies around the world manage and scale their positive environmental and social impact.”
