The CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project) is a global disclosure system that helps organizations measure
and manage their environmental impacts. It operates on four key dimensions: disclosure, awareness,
management, and leadership. These dimensions represent a progression:
•
Disclosure: Reporting environmental data transparently.
•
Awareness: Understanding the organization’s environmental impact.
•
Management: Taking steps to mitigate those impacts.
•
Leadership: Demonstrating best practices in environmental stewardship.
These align with the CDP’s methodology for assessing organizations’ environmental performance, as
recognized in the CIPS L3M6 framework under sustainability reporting.
