The Climate Disclosure Standards Board 

CDSB is an international organization committed to the integration of climate change-related information into mainstream corporate reporting. CDSB advances its mission by acting as a forum for collaboration on how existing standards and practices can be supported and enhanced so as to link financial and climate change-related reporting and respond to regulatory developments. CDSB develops its Climate Change Reporting Framework and guidance based on existing
standards, research, analysis and good practice working in close partnership with leading professionals in accountancy, business, standard setting and regulation. 

CDSB offers a practical response to the demand for a global reporting model that ensures fair and transparent markets, encourages standardized climate change-related reporting and inspires confidence in reporting. CDSB does not aim to create a new standard but works as a collaborative forum to establish how to improve existing standards and practices to link financial and climate change-related reporting, and respond to regulatory developments.

CDSB’s ambition is to provide policy-makers and others with standard-ready material in the form of our Climate Change Reporting Framework and other resources designed to provide clear, reliable information for robust decision-making. Our work is designed to provide clarity, confidence and trust in information, and greater stability in financial markets.

CDSB is 'star' in seriously long-term innovation 

CDSB has been named as one of 50 stars in seriously long term innovation in the new Future Quotient report co-authored by Volans and JWT, for connecting widely, analyzing deeply, aiming high and investing long.  

The report is based on a survey of 500 public, private and NGO leaders about who's leading the charge in sustainability, innovation and social enterprise to create value in the long-term and identifies the most future-ready companies, groups, individuals and initiatives in the world. CDSB sits alongside Google, China's 5-Year Plan, TED, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the London 2012 Olympic Committee.
