About CDP
CDP is an international environmental NGO founded in the United Kingdom in 2000. Working in partnership with signatory institutions such as institutional investors, it uses questionnaires to request that companies and local governments disclose information about their initiatives and environmental impacts related to issues such as Climate Change, Forests, Water Security, Biodiversity, and Plastics.
CDP aims to promote environmental action by companies and local governments through highly transparent data. Its disclosure system incorporates the principles of major international reporting standards and frameworks, such as ISSB and TNFD. The disclosed information is assessed and scored by CDP and is used by investors, companies, and policymakers worldwide as one of the largest environmental datasets.
By 2025, more than 640 capital markets signatories were requesting environmental disclosures through CDP, representing total assets of approximately $127 trillion. In addition, more than 270 companies request disclosures from their business partners through supply chain programs, representing total procurement of approximately $6.4 trillion. Furthermore, more than 22,000 companies and over 1,000 cities, states, and regions disclose environmental information through CDP, and these data is widely used for investment decisions, corporate engagement, and policymaking.
In addition, CDP scores are used as a component of ESG indices, and in Japan they are also used as one of the indicators for sustainability-linked loans and sustainability-linked bonds.

About Our Support Services
We provide end-to-end support, from response preparation to post-submission issue analysis. This is based on our accumulated understanding of CDP questionnaires and evaluation perspectives gained through our experience as a scoring partner, as well as insights obtained through close communication with CDP as an Accredited Solutions Provider (ASP). We tailor our support to each company’s specific circumstances to ensure efficient and accurate responses to CDP questionnaires, which often contain many questions and require extensive narrative disclosures.
We also offer related services that complement CDP responses, including Scope 3 emissions calculation, disclosure support under the ISSB (incorporating TCFD) and TNFD frameworks, and tailored training programs for clients.
We are happy to provide relevant information, explain our services, and discuss estimates in accordance with each company’s specific needs and requests. Please feel free to contact us at any time.
Track Records
Our company assists a large number of corporate clients with their responses each year. Since becoming a scoring partner in 2021, every company we have supported has achieved a score of B or higher. Approximately half of these companies have earned an A score for Climate Change, and all companies have achieved an A- or higher for Water Security. Furthermore, among companies with room for improvement, approximately half achieved a higher score than the previous year, while the other half maintained their previous score. In every case, our support ensured they achieved the maximum possible score relative to their current sustainability initiatives. Especially for companies that previously submitted responses by themselves, our support has led to improved evaluations.
