CDP will enable companies to disclose ocean-related information for the first time in its 2026 disclosure cycle, adding ocean to its questionnaire alongside climate, forests, water security, biodiversity and plastics. The move expands CDP’s environmental disclosure framework to give companies, investors and other decision-makers standardized data on ocean-related risks and opportunities. The new questions will cover target setting, supply chain engagement and board-level oversight on ocean issues. They are designed to show how companies identify, assess and respond to ocean-related dependencies, risks, impacts and opportunities, including the effects on strategy and financial planning and the content of ocean-related environmental policies. CDP said the 2026 disclosure cycle will open in the week of 15 June.
