CDP Water Security is a global disclosure and scoring program administered by CDP (formerly the Carbon Disclosure Project), a non-profit environmental organization. The program gathers standardized information from companies, cities, and other entities on freshwater-related governance, risks, impacts, targets, and performance. Participants are assessed annually on a scale from A to D-, with top performers recognized on the CDP Water Security A List.
For the chemical industry, CDP Water Security provides comparable metrics on water use, wastewater management, pollution prevention, supply chain engagement, and resilience to water scarcity and flooding. Investors, customers, and other stakeholders use its data to evaluate exposure to water-related risks and the effectiveness of management practices across portfolios and value chains. The program supports greater transparency, facilitates benchmarking, and helps organizations track progress against water stewardship goals.
