CDP, a global environmental disclosure system, is primarily funded through philanthropic donations from a diverse range of organizations committed to combating climate change and environmental damage. These contributions enable CDP to pursue its urgent mission.
CDP welcomes financial support from various types of entities, which are crucial for its operations and initiatives aimed at preventing dangerous climate change and widespread environmental damage.
