The webinar titled “Latest Developments in CDP Disclosure and 2026 Outlook”, held on 31 March 2026 in collaboration with CDP and Semtrio, addressed recent transformations in corporate sustainability reporting and key developments expected in the upcoming period.
During the webinar, CDP Türkiye Country Manager Mirhan Köroğlu Göğüş and CDP Global Senior Account Manager Benan Ürgün shared insights on CDP’s 2024 transformation, its increasing alignment with global reporting standards and expectations for the 2026 disclosure cycle.
Integrated Reporting and Global Alignment Highlighted
One of the key topics highlighted in the presentation was CDP’s integrated corporate questionnaire, introduced in 2024. Bringing together different environmental areas such as climate change, water security and forests under a single structure enables companies to assess environmental risks and opportunities in a more holistic way.
Increasing Transparency and Performance in Türkiye
According to the data shared during the webinar, the number of companies reporting globally through CDP continues to increase, while environmental transparency in Türkiye is also rising significantly. It was also highlighted that CDP data is actively used by investors, financial institutions and procurement teams, and now directly influences access to capital, lending conditions and supply chain decisions.
2025: A Year of Stability, 2026: Focus on Simplicity and Digitalization
The year 2025 was described as a “year of stability,” during which reporting processes were strengthened through limited methodological changes, improved user experience, and clearer guidance.
Expectations for 2026 were summarized under three main pillars:
-Simplicity: A more clear and user-friendly reporting structure
-Digitalization: Data upload, reuse capabilities, and AI-supported guidance
-Expanded scope: Broader environment-related disclosure, including oceans
In the upcoming period, CDP will continue to enhance data quality, simplify reporting processes, and support companies in aligning with multiple regulatory frameworks through a single disclosure.
