NORTHBROOK, Ill., March 18, 2023 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

-- CDP's new API will enable a streamlined disclosure experience for companies

working with UL Solutions.

UL Solutions, a global leader in applied safety science, today announced that

it partnered with CDP Worldwide (CDP), a nonprofit organization, to develop its

new disclosure application programming interface (API). This API will help CDP

in their work, assisting companies, cities, states and regions in disclosing

their environmental data.

In 2023, CDP will pilot this new API, offering a selection of its software

partners improved integration with CDP's disclosure platform. The API will be

available to participating accredited solutions providers (ASP) and their

customers for the 2023 disclosure cycle, focusing on the corporate climate

change questionnaire in this inaugural year. This improved API will further

support CDP in achieving its goal of enabling companies, cities, states and

regions to enhance their environmental transparency and action.

Organizations working with participating CDP ASPs in 2023 will also notice an

improved experience. UL Solutions will be one of the partners offering the API

to its customers this year -- building on the UL360 Sustainability Essentials

Software's capabilities from collection to delivery of environmental, social

and governance (ESG) data.

CDP's software ASPs support organizations with collecting and preparing their

environmental data and reporting it to CDP. Gold ASPs can offer global support,

whereas silver ASP partners are accredited in specific countries. The

disclosure API will allow participating ASPs, including gold software provider

UL Solutions, and the disclosing organizations they work with to automatically

retrieve their customers' questionnaires from CDP and transfer data from the

provider's own platform into CDP's online response system. This data transfer

helps provide an enhanced and streamlined disclosure experience, reducing the

need for manual data entry. It also allows CDP ASPs to leverage their

platforms' existing capabilities to support organizations' CDP disclosure

processes.

"With the increased demand for environmental data, CDP's disclosure API enables

CDP-accredited solutions providers to offer a more seamless disclosure

experience. UL Solutions will also be one of the partners using the API to

enable customers to seamlessly integrate data collected and calculated within

UL 360 Sustainability Software into their CDP responses," said Clayton

Sanderson, senior operations manager at UL Solutions.

"We are grateful for UL Solutions' dedication to working with us on this

important development," said Paul Robins (

providers using it with their customers this year."
