25 Years of Impact: From a Niche Idea to a Global Movement

December 2025 isn’t just the end of another year; it marks a quarter-century of a revolution. Twenty-five years ago, the idea that a company should publicly disclose its environmental impact was considered radical a “niche” concern for a handful of activists. Today, transparency is the bedrock of the global economy. CDP has been the engine behind this shift, turning raw data into a catalyst for worldwide change.

The Evolution of Disclosure

What began as a simple request for information has evolved into a sophisticated global infrastructure. We haven’t just collected data; we’ve built a compass for the 21st century.

• For Companies: We’ve moved from basic reporting to strategic resilience, helping businesses identify hidden risks and unlock the massive opportunities of the green transition.
• For Investors: We’ve provided the clarity needed to shift trillions of dollars toward sustainable outcomes.
• For the Planet: We’ve fostered a culture of accountability that is essential for an Earth-positive future.

The Next Frontier: 2026 and Beyond

While we take this moment to reflect, we aren’t standing still. The next 25 years demand even more than transparency they demand transformation. As we look toward the next quarter-century, CDP is committed to:

• Radical Innovation: Leveraging AI and real-time data to make disclosure more seamless and actionable than ever.
• Deep Collaboration: Bridging the gap between policymakers and the private sector to harmonize global standards.
• Urgent Impact: Moving beyond “tracking” progress to actively driving the carbon-neutral, nature-positive economy we all need.

Join the Momentum

To our long-term partners: Thank you. You were the pioneers who proved that transparency pays off.

To those just beginning your disclosure journey: Welcome. You are joining a movement that is rewriting the rules of the global economy. The foundation is built, the momentum is unstoppable, and the most important work is still ahead of us.
