CDP says it will become two distinct organisations: commercial CDP, backed by Permira, and CDP Foundation, a nonprofit focused on translating science into disclosure methods. CDP says its products, services and 2026 disclosure cycle will continue as planned during the transition, with completion subject to regulatory approvals and expected within six months. CDP is part of the operating infrastructure for corporate sustainability reporting. Counsel should reassure reporting teams about 2026 continuity while watching governance, data-use, assurance and procurement questions as a former nonprofit disclosure platform takes on a more commercial structure.
