CDP works with various requesting authorities including Capital Markets Signatories. As a result, you may encounter the term ‘Requester’ in the instructions below and within the Portal. Please note that this term also refers to Capital Markets Signatories.

To access the Portal, you will need to log in. Signatory users will be sent a link via email to sign in or register for the Portal. If you are a new contact, or for some reason the login doesn’t work for you, please ask your Account Manager to invite you as a team member for your organization.
When you sign in to your Signatory account for the first time, you will see a ‘Welcome to the CDP Portal’ pop-up introducing CDP’s mission. Once you have watched the introductory video, click ‘Continue to the Portal’.
Navigate your Signatory homepage
Once you have viewed the introductory video, you will land on your Signatory homepage also known as the Requester homepage. If your organization is also a Discloser or participates in another program (such as Supply Chain), your default view may not be the signatory homepage. In this case you can change it on the page’s upper left corner, please ensure that it reads Requester > Capital Markets Signatory as shown below.
The homepage consists of the navigation panel on the left-hand side and the phase bar at the top. You can also update your organization details from the ‘Show organization details’ link at the top of the page.
The homepage consist of a response rates bar, suggested activities, links to webinars, latest guidance, email templates, links to historical data product reports, and more. Further information on these tiles can be found in our article on useful guidance for Signatories.
Your Requester navigation bar
The navigation panel on the left-hand side of your Requester homepage consists of the following functions:
- Requester and user type drop-down. If you are a Requester (Signatory) that also discloses or is requested to do so, you can use the dropdown to switch between the user types (Requester and Discloser). If you are a member of multiple Requester programs, the second dropdown will allow you to switch between them.
- Invite team members. This is where you can invite new users, edit their roles, or deactivate existing users on your Portal.
- Home. This is your organization’s homepage.
- Engage organizations. This page displays your 2025 Sample lists, and Collections.
- Help & Support. This drop-down provides quick access to our Help Center and allows you to contact CDP in case you have any questions or concerns. More information on the disclosure cycle and reporting can be found here as well.
- Settings. Here is where you can see your account details, your user preferences and log off after using the Portal.
