SUSTAINABILITY REPORTING DIRECTIVE

THE TASKFORCE ON CLIMATE-RELATED FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE (TCFD)

WHAT IS THE TASKFORCE ON CLIMATE-RELATED FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE (TCFD)?

The Taskforce on Climate-Related Financial Disclosure was introduced just before COP26 in 2021 to develop consistent disclosure of climate-related financial risk for use by large companies. It has changed the way businesses need to report climate-related financial risks, making it compulsory by law for the first time.

With a significant increase in demand for improved climate-related financial disclosures, the TCFD enables pension providers, financial services and premium listed companies to put sustainability at the heart of their business strategy and win trust and loyalty amongst key stakeholders and investors.

Financial Directors and Heads of Sustainability or ESG are responsible for ensuring accurate reporting of climate-related financial risks to the business. It is vital that firms understand their obligations.

WHO IS ELIGIBLE FOR TCFD?

The TCFD is mandatory for all companies that are currently required to produce a non-financial information statement annually. This includes listed companies, banks or insurers with more than 500 employees.
