Disclosure & Reporting

Sustainability and Climate Risk Reporting has become a pivotal area for businesses and organizations worldwide, driven by increasing regulatory demands, investor expectations, and societal pressures to address environmental impacts. This reporting involves disclosing how an organization manages its environmental, social, and governance (ESG) risks and opportunities, with a particular focus on climate-related aspects.

Standards and Frameworks

Several standards and frameworks guide sustainability and climate risk reporting, each with its unique focus but all aiming to enhance transparency and comparability:

Global Reporting Initiative (GRI): Provides comprehensive standards for disclosing economic, environmental, and social impacts.
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) Sustainability Disclosure Standards: Developed by the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB), these include IFRS S1 for general sustainability disclosures and IFRS S2 for climate-related disclosures.
Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD): Offers recommendations for disclosing climate-related financial risks, organized around governance, strategy, risk management, and metrics/targets.
Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP): Focuses on environmental disclosure, particularly regarding climate, water, and forests, with a scoring system for participating companies.
Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB): Now part of the ISSB, these standards provide industry-specific guidelines for disclosing material sustainability information.

European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS): Part of the EU's Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), these standards are mandatory for large companies and listed SMEs in the EU, focusing on a broad range of sustainability issues.
