Platform Updates: Plastic
In 2023, 7,000 companies have been requested to disclose on plastics for the first time through CDP’s water security questionnaire.
The new plastics module consists of five to nine unscored questions that cover plastics-related business risks, targets, value chain mapping, and raw material content, among other topics.
Why disclose on plastics?
Plastic pollution is detrimental to our ecosystems, economies and communities. To be able to act effectively, companies must first develop a robust understanding of how they contribute to the plastic pollution crisis and the financial, commercial, legal, and reputational impacts, opportunities and risks they face as a result. Plastic-related disclosure at scale will be the foundation of transformative action.
