Preparing A TCFD-aligned Sustainability Report
The Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) was set up in December 2015 by the Financial Stability Board (FSB), at the request of the G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors meeting Its aim was to create recommendations to encourage information disclosure on climate change risks and opportunities, with the consistency, comparability, credibility and clarity needed for appropriate investment decisions.
In 2017, the task force of the Financial Stability Board published recommendations for a set of voluntary, consistent disclosure to promote more informed investment, credit and insurance underwriting decisions, to enable stakeholders to understand better their financial systems’ exposures to climate-related risks.
It is a more strategic disclosure approach, that does not only collect data on sustainability parameters, but rather assesses how the institution is strategically managing the risks and opportunities from climate change across business functions, in order to safeguard and improve its financial performance.
TCFD reporting became mandatory for Principles of Responsible Investment (PRI) signatories in 2020. In Malaysia, Bursa Malaysia supports the TCFD recommendations in its sustainability reporting guide. These developments act as a nudge for Malaysian businesses to adopt the TCFD disclosure standard – including large, listed Malaysian corporates as well as local SMEs/MSMEs who are part of global supply chains selling to end-buyers in countries where such mandates are fast becoming a reality.
While many now know why and what of TCFD, most still struggle when it comes to the how of TCFD, i.e.,
"How to go about the task of preparing a TCFD-aligned sustainability report?"
To close this gap, this is an introductory course to understand how to prepare a report based on the TCFD recommendations. This course applies to all sectors, both financial and non-financial.
