Get started with TCFD

Get practical advice on taking the important first steps on your TCFD reporting journey in this webinar replay featuring the Climate Disclosure Standards Board (CDSB). Part one of our TCFD series Reporting on Climate Risks, the webinar features CDSB’s Michael Zimonyi and Gemma Clements with host Christin Schaller.

Managing financial impacts that climate change can have on your organisation helps to succeed in a low carbon economy and build resilience. Governments and investors are urging for transparent disclosure of these impacts and refer to the framework developed by The Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). Learn about the CDSB’s mission to bring the worlds of climate change reporting and financial reporting together as well as their tips for preparing your TCFD report.

Main takeaways for getting started with TCFD reporting

 

  • Assess where you are at: What climate data already exists in your organisation? Where are the biggest gaps to meet the TCFD recommendations?
  • Assemble an internal cross-functional ‘TCFD’ team with a climate champion on the board.
  • A roadmap helps you envision how to get from where you currently are to fully embedding climate risks and opportunities into your organisation.
  • It takes time. TCFD reporting is an iterative and phased approach, you are not expected to have all the information from the beginning.
