WAP Sustainability joins CDP as an Accredited Solutions Provider

WAP reinforces its carbon accounting and CDP services with new accreditation from CDP.

NASHVILLE, TN, UNITED STATES, December 4, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- WAP Sustainability, a leading global sustainability consultancy and software company announced its accreditation from the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) into its network of solution providers. As a silver climate change consultancy partner in the US, WAP will support organizations reporting emissions to the CDP’s climate questionnaire and setting science-based targets. Since 2009, WAP has been providing carbon accounting and disclosure services by helping organizations to measure, assess, and manage their carbon emissions.

CDP is the global non-profit which runs the world’s environmental disclosure system used by over 18,700 companies and 1200 cities, states and regions globally. CDP is backed by 680 investors with assets of $130 trillion and 280+ large purchasers with US$6.4 trillion in buying power.

CDP accredits carbon service providers who can help to support companies in all aspects of their environmental journey, from climate-related scenario analysis to designing a strategy for a product level decarbonization strategy for products and operations.

WAP Sustainability completed its first CDP response in 2009 and has been providing carbon accounting and carbon reporting services for nearly two decades. The move to formalizing its status as an Accredited provider with CDP re-formalizes WAP’s role as a top consulting option for companies needing CDP support.

"This accreditation, along with our long-standing relationship and experience with CDP, reinforces our credibility and commitment to helping organizations effectively manage their carbon accounting processes and CDP climate change disclosures,” said William Paddock, Co-Founder and CEO at WAP Sustainability.

Accredited providers help companies disclosing to CDP to identify the gaps in their environmental performance, address these gaps and identify further opportunities for becoming leaders in the corporate environmental action space.

“The CDP Accreditation reinforces WAP’s offerings to help CDP disclosing companies share their carbon management accomplishment and disclosures with key investors and customers. We are honored to partner with CDP to empower our clients to propel decarbonization activities throughout their supply chain and broader climate strategy via CDP’s thoughtful prompts," according to Natalie Duncan, Manager of Climate Risk and CDP at WAP Sustainability. WAP’s services span carbon accounting and disclosures (like the CDP) to target setting and reduction goal planning aligned to CDP and other third party reporting frameworks such as SBTi (the Science Based Target initiative). WAP’s carbon accounting services include leveraging its industry leading life cycle assessment team to help companies measure Scope 3 emissions by using publicly available product level emissions data as opposed to less useful economic impact emissions factors.

WAP’s approach to Scope 3 emissions helps equip organizations with actionable data to efficiently navigate and manage complex supply chains. "Deep Scope 3 expertise was a missing piece in the CDP Accredited Service Provider Network and WAP wanted to fill the gap. We see that 80-90% of emissions often come from Scope 3 and more effective approaches to Scope 3 accounting and management were needed. We hope more companies will find WAP and leverage our expertise via our accreditation by CDP,” said Brad McAllister, WAP’s Co-Founder and President.
