Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP)
About the CPD course
Accountants are already well-equipped to play an essential role in preparing company policies; developing business cases; and in identifying; measuring and managing climate-related business risks. This includes developing and using management accountancy systems to collate climate-related data and information with the same rigour as financial data and information. Accountants can guide reporting entities to meet the demands of increased transparency; by helping to provide and present relevant and reliable information in a meaningful; consistent and comparable manner. This course demonstrates the role of accountants and offers practical advice about how you can embed climate change into your everyday role.
The Carbon Disclosure Project is a global organization, with regional offices and local partners spanning 50 countries. There are now companies, cities, states and regions from over 90 countries that disclose to CDP. CDP runs the global environmental disclosure system. Each year CDP supports thousands of companies, cities, states and regions to measure and manage their risks and opportunities on climate change, water security and deforestation. Over the last two decades the CDP have created a system that has resulted in unparalleled engagement on environmental issues worldwide.
