Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD)
TCFD reporting can help your business achieve corporate transparency.
EIC can handle all your TCFD compliance needs, allowing you to focus on managing your business.
The Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) was created in 2015 by the international Financial Stability Board to address how climate change is influencing economic decisions.
Every large organization faces risks from climate change, and these risks will grow as the Earth gets warmer. The Task Force divides these climate-related risks into two main types:
Risks from moving towards a greener, low-carbon economy.
These come from changes in laws, legal challenges, shifts in market trends, technology advancements and changes in reputation. Companies are already feeling these effects through increased climate-related legal actions and changes in policies. It’s also important to consider how changing consumer preferences and behaviours might impact organisations.
Risks from the actual physical effects of climate change.
These risks are categorised as either acute or chronic. Acute risks are sudden, extreme weather events like wildfires or floods, while chronic risks are gradual changes in climate patterns. These changes can disrupt supply chains, affect the safety of employees and have other long-term impacts on organisations.
The TCFD recommends four main types of financial disclosures:
Companies should share how their board and management handle and oversee climate-related risks and opportunities.
Organisations need to reveal both the immediate and future risks and opportunities from climate change, how these affect them and how robust their strategies are in dealing with these issues.
There should be transparency about how a company identifies, assesses, and manages climate risks, and how this fits into their overall risk management approach.
Companies must disclose the metrics they use to evaluate climate risks, including Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions, the challenges these emissions present, and the goals they have set to manage these risks and opportunities.
Addressing climate-related risks opens up several opportunities for businesses, including:
