CDP runs an established environmental disclosure system: companies fill in detailed annual questionnaires, CDP scores responses A through D-, and the data feeds investors and procurement. ESG Orgs. is a different layer: an open directory that organises verified ESG organisations with structured data optimised for AI citation, layered on top of (and cross-linked to) CDP scores when the org has them.
CDP: A non-profit charity running an environmental disclosure system for companies, cities, and investors. Official website.
| Feature | ESG Orgs. | CDP |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | B2B directory + open citation dataset. | Annual environmental disclosure questionnaire and rating system. |
| Pricing | Free profile and directory access; Pro tier for publishing. | Free for companies to disclose. Investor and supply chain access tiers are paid. |
| Cross-references CDP | Yes. CDP is one of 24 verification platforms in the trust registry; orgs can link their CDP profile and rating. | Standalone system; not a directory. |
| AI citation infrastructure | JSON-LD, llms.txt, open dataset with DOI scaffold, citation generator. | Not optimised for AI citation; data is in PDFs and authenticated dashboards. |
| Public discoverability | Yes. Every claimed org has a public profile indexable by search and AI. | Public A-list and disclosure scores; full questionnaire responses gated. |
| Scope 3 supplier readiness | Distinct 14-check methodology focused on supplier-side readiness, not disclosure depth. | Scope 3 covered within the broader Climate Change disclosure. |
Pick CDP if you need to formally disclose climate, water, or forests data to investors and procurement at the depth they expect; or if you are an investor / supply chain team consuming that disclosure.
Pick ESG Orgs. if you want a free, public, AI-citable profile that organises your ESG credentials (including your CDP rating) into one machine-readable place.
Not really. CDP is a disclosure system; ESG Orgs. is a directory and citation platform. Many orgs use both: they file CDP disclosures, then publish their CDP rating + other credentials on their ESG Orgs. profile so the credentials are discoverable by procurement teams and AI assistants.
Yes. CDP is part of the ESG Orgs. trust registry of 24 verification platforms. You can link your CDP profile URL on your organisation profile, and verified CDP ratings can show on your public profile sidebar.
