Asian participation in the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) has been diverse. The majority of the surveys in 2007 were sent to Hong Kong, India, and Korea—countries with a large cohort of large market capitalization companies. India had the highest response rate of 42%, followed by Korea and Hong Kong.

Trends reflected in the overall response included:

The quality of responses from India is embryonic.
The quality of Korean data reflects strong regulatory mechanisms and policy guidance provided by the Korean government.
Responses from Taiwan are largely concentrated in the tech sector and appear to reflect the growing role played by industry associations in Taiwan.
The Hong Kong sample is comparatively diverse and although there were a number of strong responses, overall response rates suffer from a lack of guidance to key sectors such as property.
China is largely absent, although some Chinese companies listed in Hong Kong were included in the Hong Kong dataset.
