NORTHBROOK, Ill., March 21, 2023 (Reuters) /PRNewswire/
CDP’s new API will enable streamlined data disclosure for companies working with UL Solutions.
UL Solutions, a global leader in applied safety science, announced today that it has partnered with CDP Worldwide (CDP), a not-for-profit organization, to develop its new disclosure programming interface (API). This API will help CDP in its work by helping companies, cities, states and regions to disclose their environmental data.
In 2023, CDP will pilot this new API and offer enhanced integration with CDP’s disclosure platform to a selection of its software partners. The API will be available to participating Accredited Solution Providers (ASP) and their customers for the 2023 disclosure cycle, with a focus in this launch year on the Corporate Climate Change Questionnaire. This enhanced API will help CDP achieve its goal of empowering businesses, cities, states and regions to improve their environmental visibility and actions.
Organizations working with participating CDP ASPs in 2023 will also see an improved experience. UL Solutions will be one of the partners offering the API to its customers this year – building on the capabilities of the UL360 Sustainability Essentials software from collection to delivery of environmental, social and governance (ESG) data.
CDP’s software ASPs support organizations in collecting and processing their environmental data and reporting it to CDP. Gold ASPs can provide worldwide support, while Silver ASP partners are accredited in specific countries. The Disclosure API will allow participating ASPs, including gold software vendor UL Solutions, and the disclosing organizations they work with to automatically pull their customers’ questionnaires from CDP and import data from the vendor’s own platform into the Transfer CDP’s online response system. This data transfer contributes to improved and streamlined disclosure and reduces the need for manual data entry. In addition, CDP ASPs can use the existing capabilities of their platforms to support companies’ CDP disclosure processes.
“With the increasing demand for environmental data, CDP’s Disclosure API enables CDP-accredited solution providers to provide more seamless disclosure. UL Solutions will also be one of the partners leveraging the API to enable customers to seamlessly integrate data collected and calculated with UL 360 Sustainability Software into their CDP responses,” said Clayton Sanderson, operations director at UL Solutions .
“We are grateful to be working with UL Solutions on this important development,” said Paul Robins, global director of programs at CDP Worldwide. “Not only did they develop the disclosure API with us, but they will also be one of the accredited solution providers using them with their customers this year.”
