CDP Water Security Initiatives by Companies in Japan

Abstract

CDP is a non-profit organization managed by a British charitable institution that scores companies based on the results of environmental questionnaires they distribute.

In recent years, the number of companies responding to CDP has been increasing, and the scoring results are utilized by investors and other stakeholders in the market. This report presents the trends in corporate responsiveness to water from the CDP Water Security 2023 Report. The findings show that companies responding for the first time in 2023 are currently less advanced in their water initiatives in many aspects compared to those that have been responding continuously. Therefore, it is expected that they will strengthen their actions in the future.
