CDP is a not-for-profit organization that runs the only global disclosure system for companies, cities, states and regions to manage their environmental impacts and for investors or purchasers to access environmental information for use in financial decisions.

CDP uses a scoring methodology to incentivize companies to measure and manage environmental impacts.  Having emissions independently verified, or even being in the process of verification, can improve a submitter’s score.

With over thirty years' experience and as the leading provider of Greenhouse Gas verification, Lucideon verifies data to international standards for clients across the world.

Shaun Bainbridge, director at Lucideon, said:
"We are looking forward to working with CDP for a sixth year to encourage high quality disclosure of climate change related data.

"Independent verification and CDP go hand in hand; they both encourage disclosure of accurate and credible data which, in turn, has a positive impact on stakeholders and investors.  Knowing that your data is accurate is also the basis for setting new strategic and environmental objectives.

"We would encourage any organization that is committed to reducing its environmental impact to submit to CDP."

Paul Robins, head of partnerships, said:
"We are extremely pleased that Lucideon, our long-standing silver verification partner in the UK and US, has once again renewed their partnership with us. Independent, third-party verification of climate data is of vital importance to users of CDP data, and we are confident that their assurance services will continue adding value to companies responding to CDP."
