TCFD
The intention behind the Task Force on Climate Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) framework is to provide investors, banks, and other financial institutions with more detailed information about climate-related risks and opportunities.
The framework is designed to show how climate risks may impact financial performance and promote thorough risk assessment and informed decision making. Our team aligns closely to this framework, publishing best practice advice each year to ensure companies unlock value and understanding through their reporting strategy.
CSRD
Applicable to all companies listed on EU-regulated markets, the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) marks a significant step change in sustainability reporting, with more companies than ever falling within scope of the requirements.

More than ever, a long-term approach to sustainability reporting is vital in creating transparency, whilst transforming operations to align with net zero ambitions.

Disclosure requirements include information about exposure to climate-related risks and how this could impact future cash flows, as well as the governance processes in place and climate-related scenario analysis.
