The Task force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) has been created upon the request of the G20 leaders. It aims to encourage companies and organizations to communicate in a transparent manner on the financial risks linked to climate, in order to help investors to integrate them in their decisions.
In 2017, the TCFD published a set of recommendations to encourage a consistent and reliable financial reporting based on 4 pillars: governance, strategy, measure and objectives, as well as risk management.
