LRQA AND CDP - STRATEGIC ALLIANCE

The CDP is an independent not-for-profit organisation holding the largest database of primary corporate climate change and water use information in the world. 

More than 3,000 organisations from more than 60 countries around the world measure and disclose their greenhouse gas emissions, water use and climate change strategies through the CDP. Organisations who report their climate data to the CDP do so to set reduction targets and make performance improvements over time. 

LRQA is among a select group of CDP partners, recognised for our expertise and credibility at providing impartial, internationally accredited and trusted sustainability and climate data verification services around the world. For organisations looking to verify their data for the CDP, LRQA's tailored verification services can apply to a wide array of reporting and verification standards, including but not limited to the ISO 14064, WRI/WBCSD GHG Protocol, The Climate Registry, AA1000AS, regulated programs and our client’s internal corporate standards.

From early stage training and gap analysis services to full verification of your inventory against a chosen standard meeting CDP criteria, LRQA services will ensure your information is fit for purpose.
