 Carbon Disclosure Project
The Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) is an independent, not-for-profit organisation aiming to create a lasting relationship between shareholders and corporations regarding the implications for shareholder value and commercial operations presented by climate change. Its goal is to facilitate a dialogue, supported by quality information, from which a rational response to climate change will emerge.  The CDP provides a coordinating secretariat for institutional investors with a combined $57 trillion of assets under management and, over eight years, the CDP has become the gold standard for carbon disclosure methodology and process. The CDP website is the largest repository of corporate greenhouse gas emissions data in the world.

Its membership accounts for an estimated 75% of the global carbon market, valued at USD 126 billion in 2008. Solely representing organisations that provide services to and invest in the environmental sector, CMIA's membership does not include any entities with compliance obligations under cap-and-trade schemes. This results in a unique advocacy platform with emphasis on the environmental integrity of market mechanisms and climate change policies.
