CDP

How much are you willing to pay for a chocolate bar? In West Africa – home to 80% of the world’s total cocoa output – cocoa prices have hit record highs due to extreme weather. Companies are already aware of how environmental risk is disrupting how they do business – potentially affecting global supply chains across all sectors. The first step towards resilience is awareness, and by disclosing and measuring their risks, companies are starting to see clearly.

Momentum for disclosure remains strong. Environmental data is what the market demands, and businesses are responding, with more companies than ever being asked to disclose on water and forests.   At #WorldWaterWeek 2025, CDP’s Head of Water, Joe Ray, joined the Water in Business session to highlight that while the political narrative around sustainability may be shifting, the environmental and business realities have not changed. Companies continue to view water as financially material, disclosure numbers are rising, and building resilience presents opportunities even in an evolving landscape.  Catch up on the full session by searching Water in Business here: https://lnkd.in/dgZjx34f 

Over the last decade, hundreds of global financial institutions have put their weight behind CDP’s Non-Disclosure Campaign – directly targeting and engaging companies that have failed to respond to their request to disclose. For them, access to this environmental data isn’t a nice to have. It’s a business necessity. That’s why more than 223 global financial institutions have called on more than 1,300 of the world’s highest-impact companies to disclose through CDP in 2025, seeking the information they need to allocate capital, manage their portfolios and inform strategy. And it works. Companies engaged through CDP’s Non-Disclosure Campaign are 2.5 times more likely to disclose. The demand for robust environmental data is only increasing, and companies are responding. As we pass the midpoint in CDP’s disclosure cycle, more companies than ever have been requested to disclose on water and forests, showing the demand for nature-related data in financial markets continues to rapidly increase. In fact, in Japan more companies started their disclosure on forests and water in the first four weeks than disclosed in total last year.

CDP is at #WorldWaterWeek 2025 in Stockholm, where the theme is Water for Climate Action. As the climate crisis intensifies, water is a critical way its impacts are experienced and disclosure is essential to uncover risks and empower action.   In this video, Joe Ray, CDP’s Head of Water, explains how disclosure helps companies and investors understand their water risks, build resilience and prepare for the challenges of tomorrow. CDP data shows the impact: companies with consistent water disclosure reduced water withdrawals by up to 74%.   Learn more about #WorldWaterWeek here: https://worldwaterweek.org
