Dataset card

Corporate environmental disclosure data from CDP provides companies' self-reported environmental information through a commercial-licensed dataset. It is tagged for ESG, emissions, disclosure, and climate-risk analysis.

What this dataset contains

The dataset is published by CDP, a nonprofit that runs a global environmental disclosure system used by corporations and investors. It is positioned around corporate environmental reporting rather than third-party measurements. The license is commercial, indicating the raw disclosure responses are not openly redistributable.

Structure and fields

Specific column names and field-level schema are not documented in the available metadata, and no sample rows are provided for review. Splits and row counts are also unspecified. Users typically need to consult CDP's official response schemas or data dictionaries for field definitions before working with the data.

How analysts use it

Investment analysts use CDP-style corporate disclosure data to score companies on climate-related metrics such as Scope emissions, water use, and climate-risk governance for ESG fund construction and stewardship engagement. It is also referenced in regulatory and transition-risk modeling where disclosed targets and reported emissions feed into scenario analysis. Because the facts above do not confirm exact column names or coverage, downstream use cases should be validated against CDP's published questionnaires and data licenses.
