The Carbon Disclosure Project – A Commitment to Verification
4th May 2011
Lloyd’s Register Quality Assurance (LRQA) is a strategic partner of the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). Thousands of organisations from across the world’s major economies measure and disclose their greenhouse gas emissions, water use and climate change strategies through CDP.
In a recent statement, CDP re-enforced their ongoing commitment to encouraging the application of robust and credible verification procedures in the collection of carbon emissions data, as well as the actions taken to reduce them.
To support this objective, CDP has formed a verification working group, in which they collaborate closely with LRQA and other verification partners in order to support reporting companies with helpful resources and further develop CDP’s approach to verification. As part of this work, the CDP is developing a verification strategy that will be published in the summer of 2011 and communicated to reporting companies globally.
