“CDP was created 25 years ago to bring clarity and comparability to environmental disclosure, and that work has helped shape disclosure practices across global markets. The introduction of CDP’s new AI-powered disclosure tool represents the next phase of that journey – harnessing the power of AI to support organizations at scale, increase reporting simplicity, and deliver greater value from Earth-positive decision making.”
Sherry Madera - CEO, CDP

The AI-Powered Suggested Response Feature

The collaboration began with a new service to support disclosing companies to engage with reporting more efficiently.

Testing showerd reduced disclosure preparation time by an average of 40%, increased response and completion rates by 25%, and reported 60% improvement in response depth and coverage.

We welcome CDP’s investment in innovation to strengthen the disclosure process, bringing improved efficiency, allowing us to focus more of our attention on driving impact. As the importance of disclosure continues to grow, harnessing AI to enhance the functionality of CDP disclosure will provide tangible benefits and meaningful time savings. We are pleased to collaborate with CDP as these new capabilities are explored and further developed, ensuring they support robust and reliable reporting for companies now and in the future."
Matthias Berninger
EVP Public Affairs, Sustainability & Safety, Bayer AG
"AI will make CDP reporting more consistent and efficient. Team Bayer will be empowered to focus more on where we can improve our performance by eliminating busy-work which makes disclosure an even more powerful tool of advancing the transformation."
Tomas van der Heijden
CEO and co-founder of Briink
"AI should help lift the reporting burden so sustainability teams can devote more time to improving environmental performance. That's what we're building together with CDP."
Elisa Bartels
Senior Manager Sustainability Ratings & Products
"The greatest potential for AI in the context of CDP reporting lies primarily in automating the extraction of relevant ESG content and data from publicly available documents, such as annual or sustainability reports, and structuring it according to the corresponding CDP questions. In this way, AI can create a solid foundation for the reporting process, particularly making the initial data collection and organization more efficient."
