Carbon Disclosure Project

Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) is a voluntary, international, and not-for-profit organization having membership of about six thousand large companies in the world that have agreed, on a voluntary basis, to measure, disclose, manage and share their environmental data and information including climate related strategies, greenhouse gas emissions and energy use in a format developed by the CDP. This was stated by Shrimati Jayanthi Natarajan Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Environment and Forests, in the Lok Sabha today, in a written reply to a question by Shri P R Natarajan.

She further stated that the activities of CDP in India are operated by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) India and the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII). In 2012, out of 200 companies in India which were approached by the CII for the information, 53 companies responded.
