CDP Worldwide
CDP Worldwide, formerly the "Carbon Disclosure Project", is a UK-based, not-for-profit charity, with offices and partners in 50+ countries worldwide. The CDP runs the global disclosure system for investors, companies, cities, states and regions to measure and manage their environmental impacts.
The Carbon Majors database holds the most comprehensive collection of self-reported environmental data in the world. Companies that measure their environmental risk are better able to manage it strategically; and those that are transparent and disclose this information are providing decision makers with access to a critical source of global data that delivers the evidence and insight required to drive action.

Carbon Majors Report
Almost 32% of historic emissions come from publicly-listed investor-owned companies, 59% from state-owned companies, and 9% from private investment. Over 50% of global industrial emissions since 1988 can be traced to just 25 corporate and state producers. Fossil fuel companies and their products have released more emissions in the last 28 years than in the 237 years prior to 1988. Over half (52%) of all global industrial GHGs emitted since the start of the industrial revolution in 1751, have been traced to these 100 fossil fuel producers.[2]
Low carbon tipping point is within reach if investors and carbon majors take urgent climate action. Website
Climate Accountability Institute
It focuses on research into the nature and attribution of responsibility for climate change; quantification of potential emissions from proved recoverable reserves held by the Carbon Majors; updates the Carbon Majors analysis of fossil fuel and cement production; models the temperature response to the Carbon Majors' historic production and attributed emissions of carbon dioxide and methane. The CIA designs and creates pathways for action a responsible fossil fuel company should take, as well as a metric for net emission reductions via Carbon Capture and Storage or other verifiable offsets.ref
