Editor's Notes
- #5Ā The Climate Disclosure Standards Board is a consortium of 9 environmental and business NGOs. We were set up in Davos in 2007 with a mission to create the enabling conditions for material climate change and natural capital information to be integrated into the mainstream report.
- #6Ā The 7 principles and 12 requirements of the CDSB Framework 7 guiding principles (the how) 12 reporting requirements (the what) Fully aligned with the TCFD recommendations and principles ā and the TCFD was developed based on the CDSB Framework and other leading reporting frameworks Therefore, complementary to existing reporting provisions (CDP, GRI, SASB) and existing regulations Referenced in the EU NFRD guidance and stock exchange guidance globally
- #9Ā The TCFD was set up in 2015 to develop voluntary, consistent climate-related financial risk disclosures for use by companies in providing information to investors, lenders, insurers, and other stakeholders. They specifically considered the physical, liability and transition risks associated with climate change and what constitutes effective financial disclosures across industries. What makes the TCFD different?
- #11Ā Now before we dive into the details, letās take a look at the four key themes and findings that emerged from the report. The 2019 Status report tells us that, despite support for the TCFD rising by more than half since last September, companies are still finding it a challenge to implement the recommendations resulting in insufficient disclosure for investors. More clarity is needed on the potential financial impact of climate-related issues, the majority of companies do not disclose information on resilience and, finally, mainstreaming climate-related issues requires the involvement of multiple functions. Given the urgency of the situation and the scale of the challenge, these findings are concerning. The financial risks that climate change presents to the global economy are enormous. In fact, the United Nations states that delays in tackling this issue could cost companies nearly $1.2 trillion over the next 15 years. In the upcoming slides, weāll explore these key themes in more detail, discuss some of the most significant statistics from the report and action needed moving forward. 78% aligned with at least 1 of the recommendations disclosures 4% of companies aligned with at least 10 of the recommended disclosures
- #12Ā The Banking industry generally had the highest percentages across the recommended disclosures. However, other industries had higher percentages for specific recommended disclosures such as strategy but not in the case of Risk Management. Average disclosure is XXX. Given the timing of this webinar, we can assume most attendees are based in Europe and Asia Pacific and for this reason I have focussed on these two regions. A full breakdown of disclosure across all regions can be found in the second status report.
- #14Ā Pop out core element
- #19Ā These are some key takeaways on what constitutes decision-useful information from an investor survey on TCFD disclosures conducted by one of our board members, SASB. It is useful her in terms of what is the nature of disclosures required by investors. Do these reasonate with you?
- #27Ā These are 7 top tips for developing and refining climate-disclosures. 1. We have found in reviewing reports that some report preparer are confused by the orientation For TCFD, we are looking at the impact of the climate on the business not the converse. 2. Disclosures are interconnected and mutually reinforcing. Ensuring the connectivity of information is key. This includes linking financial and non-financial finroamtion. 3. We found governance disclosures muddled. Explain how the board exercises its oversight function of climate risks and how this differs from managersā roles and responsibilities. This is a distinction between climate leadership and management ā both are important hence the two recommended TCFD disclosures. 4. The process for assessing materiality was often absent from disclosures. We found that beyond scope 1 and 2 emissions, climate-related disclosures differs from company to company and within indsutries. There are existing standards and metrics that can be used to help make your TCFD disclosures. You donāt drive a car with three wheels instead of four [may change analogy], why would try to tell your story of how you are identifying, assessing and managing climate risks to investors without giving them the full picture The annual report is aimed principally at investors. It allows you to put climate-related information on the same level of rigour as financial information. It allows you to make key linkages there. If it is in the mainstream report it matters. Overall, we are moving along the TCFD implementation path with more companies and disclosures, letās keep going, learning-by-doing and refining our evolving practice. Donāt let the perfect be the enemy of the good when making your climate-related financial disclosures. This is an evolving area. Now I will turn back to Katie on what next?
- #29Ā Nadine: - Now that we have identified some top tips from the good practices in this yearās disclosure cycle, we would like to share with you a snapshot of the ample resources that are available to help you implement the TCFD. We suggest you start with our twin resources ā the guide and handbook. We also wish to draw your attention to the Corporate Reporting Dialogueās Better Alignment Project report (being launched tomorrow) ā this will be of particular interest in the context of the 50 illustrative metrics from the TCFD and how a report preparer can use CDP, SASB or GRI metrics to make some of the quantitative disclosures suggested by the TCFD. It also shows how the five leading framework and standard setters, including SASB and CDSB are collectively aligned to the TCFD principles for effective disclosures and recommended disclosures. It provides a mapping of how we fit together in the context of climate. The World Economic Forumās climate governance principles, our implementation guide and this good practice handbook are examples of what you will find on the TCFD Knowledge Hub. The Hub is powered by CDSB and an online aggregator for publicly available resources, events, and case studies relating to the TCFD. E-learning courses on making climate related financial disclosures were developed by CDSB and launched earlier this month. We encourage you and your colleagues to test your knowledge, and this provides an excellent introduction or refresher to climate-related financial disclosures.
