The Financial Stability Board’s (FSB) Taskforce on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) is a market-driven initiative which provides a suite of recommendations for voluntary and consistent climate-related financial risk disclosures in mainstream company filings.

However, the Taskforce and the TCFD movement are still in their infancies and as such corporate adoption of the recommendations are still relatively low. This 10-page guide outlines all the key questions and considerations that businesses need to improve climate-related data disclosure in line with the TCFD recommendations. 

The guide has been produced with assistance from supporting partners Inspired Energy and features an expert viewpoint from the company’s policy director Georgina Penfold on the need for clear and consistent climate disclosure. 

“The recommendations set out by the TCFD help play a key part in opening the way to better business,” Penfold said. “Disclosure of climate risks not only ensures we understand which parts of an organisation are exposed to the impacts of climate change but, importantly, provides a framework under which we can clearly articulate both those risks and our responses.”
