Nigel Topping is Executive Director at CDP (formerly the Carbon Disclosure Project) an international not-for-profit working to transform the global economy so that it operates within environmental limits. CDP operates a global transparency initiative, so that over 4500 companies (representing approximately 60% of global market capitalization) report on the impacts of climate change, water scarcity and deforestation to their businesses and on their strategies to address these challenges. This data is requested by 767 institutional investors managing over $92 trillion and is increasingly factored into their analysis of company valuation and their company engagement plans. Nigel spent 18 years in the manufacturing industry, has degrees from Cambridge, in Mathematics and Schumacher College, in Holistic Science, and has recently returned from a sailing expedition to the arctic.
