Governments, businesses, civil society and the private sector no longer doubt the reality of climate change. The question now is, how should you take action?
TCFD-aligned disclosure is underpinned by action and the time to start the journey is now. Reporting on climate risks and opportunities is the beginning of a multi-year, iterative process towards achieving a future-proofed business model.
Reporting requires multiple steps, starting with understanding your climate-related risks and opportunities by scanning both historical data and forward-looking projections, and then moving to define a high-level climate strategy with targets and metrics. Companies are increasingly using scenario analysis to support their projections and to develop their transition plans.
In our latest research report, the Design Portfolio ESG team explores the emergence of TCFD reporting trends among early adopters of the framework, specifically focusing on non-financial sectors.
We identify distinct formats for presenting the disclosure and where in the annual report it can most often be found. We also conduct a deep dive into the core pillars of the TCFD and outline our expectations for how disclosure may evolve in each area.
