Task force on climate related Financial Disclosure (TCFD)

Market and investors are increasingly demanding companies for climate disclosure.
TCFD recommendations help businesses understand how climate change affects them. As TCFD guidelines are aligned with the CDP disclosure mechanism, combining them gives an indication both on businesses’ climate impact and on how climate change affects businesses.

By following TCFD recommendations, a company can identify climate risks and find new opportunities offered by their net-zero transition. In addition, businesses can evaluate the effectiveness of their climate strategy and disclose it with their investors and other stakeholders.
