CDP (previously known as the Carbon Disclosure Project), enables more than 4000 companies around the world to measure, disclose, manage and share climate change, deforestation risk and water usage information. CDP's unique global disclosure system and resulting insights enable investors, companies and governments to see the business case for reducing impacts on the environment and on natural resources. Additionally, CDP's insights help the investment community become more aware of the risk to their portfolios by promoting transparency of environmental risk within a company's operations.

CDP consultancy partners demonstrate a commitment to working with CDP to encourage high quality disclosure of climate change related data from global corporations. Currently the only CDP Canada consultancy partner, this formal arrangement accredits Offsetters to further extend its client advisory services to current and potential CDP responding companies. This CDP partnership recognizes the proven strength of the Offsetters Advisory Services team in helping its corporate partners understand and manage their environmental, reputational, and financial risk within their operations. As a CDP Canada representative, Offsetters joins other leading consultancies from Australia, US, France, Germany, UK, South Africa, Nordic and Benelux regions.

"Being chosen as a CDP Canada partner reinforces our market leadership and reflects the strength of our team," says Offsetters CEO James Tansey. "While national in scope, our influence is global and we are proud to be chosen based on our record of providing outstanding service to our clients. I believe that being selected as a CDP consulting partner also reinforces our commitment to continue to showcase industry best practices and to provide added value for our partners and clients."
