This article is for Disclosers and provides guidance on how to access the CDP Portal by completing the Register to Disclose form. This form is for new users of companies that have been requested to disclose by their customers. It is also for users of city, state and regions. Once a user is added to the disclosing organization, they will be able to disclose to CDP.
Please note, the form can also be used to register yourself as a self-selected company and as a city, state and region. The Register to disclose form has replaced the previous Join an organization form and is available in English, Portuguese, Japanese, Simplified Chinese and Spanish.

The first option, "My organization has been requested to disclose" is for companies that have disclosed through CDP previously and are expecting to receive one or more requests to disclose.
Once selected, this will prompt you to provide the name of the requesting company. This is a free text field, and users are encouraged to provide the full company name they are expecting to receive a request from, which will be used to help verify their organization.
