Who we are

At CDP, we are on a mission to solve our planet’s biggest environmental challenges: climate change, water scarcity and deforestation. We believe you can’t manage what you don’t measure – so we run the world’s largest environmental disclosure system. For the past two decades, our team has worked tirelessly to create a thriving economy that works for people and planet in the long term – we accomplish this by engaging the global actors who wield the greatest influence in driving environmental change: companies, cities, governments, and the capital markets.

CDP’s cascading global impact is powered by our tight-knit team of smart, savvy, curious and committed individuals, who share a common passion for creating a sustainable future. It is our people who make our work possible. And we provide our people with a working environment that empowers each individual to reach their full potential: one that is committed to equity; one that provides equal access for growth and development; and one that supports each individual throughout the full employee life cycle.

The role

The Asia Pacific represents a significant growth region for CDP’s disclosure targets and forms a pivotal strategic objective in our action plan. We intend to grow our APAC revenue base across corporate disclosure, fundraising and grants. To this end, CDP is seeking a Director Business Development, APAC, who will lead and motivate our Commercial teams whilst overseeing and driving the expansion of CDP’s commercial relationships and opportunities across companies, governments, and other key stakeholders.
