CDP’s European Disclosure Workshop series aims to engage with corporates and financial institutions on the topics that matter most to them. Both businesses, and financial institutions must show they are serious about reducing their environmental risks and opportunities, and that they have credible plans for existing in a 1.5°C-aligned, nature-positive world. That means high-quality environmental disclosure in line with the latest market and regulatory standards. It means targets which are science-based and seen by customers and investors as best-practice. And it means having clear transition plans to deliver.
From supply chain engagement, setting science-based net-zero and nature targets, to the latest regulatory developments, CDP’s full-day Disclosure Workshops cover the most important and emerging developments in environmental reporting and action for 2024.
In 2023, CDP’s European Workshop Series welcomed over 400 attendees, including sustainability representatives from Europe’s largest companies (e.g., Ørsted, Philips, EY, BNP Paribas, Deutsche Borse, Bayer). This year, CDP’s European Disclosure Workshop Series is set to take place in 5 cities across Europe (Madrid, Warsaw, Brussels, Munich, and Dublin).
Doors open at 9:00 with coffee and a light breakfast, the workshop will start at 10:00.
