CIBC supports several global environmental initiatives including the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) and the United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI).
The CDP holds the largest database of corporate climate change information in the world. Project participants voluntarily disclose their GHG emissions and climate change strategies. The CDP makes this data widely available to institutional investors, corporations, governments, regulators, academics and other stakeholders, including the general public.
UNEP FI is a global partnership between UNEP and the financial sector. The organization works closely with financial institutions to identify, promote and realize the adoption of the best environmental and sustainability practices. In 2002, CIBC became a member of the UNEP FI North American Task Force. In addition to our membership commitments, CIBC contributes to studies commissioned by the UNEP FI.
