Preview: TCFD Asset Manager and Asset Owner Climate-Related Reporting Survey
BACKGROUNDIn December 2015, the Financial Stability Board established the industry-led Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD or Task Force) todesign a set of recommendations for disclosures that would help investors, lenders, and insurance underwriters better understand climate-related risks
and opportunities in their financial decision-making.
In June 2017, the Task Force published its recommendations for climate-related financial disclosures and, each year since, has published a status report
describing, among other topics, the alignment of organizations’ reporting with the TCFD recommendations.
For its 2023 status report, the Task Force is conducting a survey of asset managers and asset owners to understand the current state of their climaterelated financial reporting aligned with the TCFD recommendations and associated implementation challenges. The Task Force believes this information
should help asset managers and asset owners implement the TCFD recommendations and help a wide range of stakeholders understand the current
state of TCFD-aligned reporting by asset managers and asset owners.
AGREEING TO COMPLETE THE SURVEY
The Task Force would appreciate if someone well-acquainted with your organization’s climate-related reporting would complete our 10-minute survey.
Responses are due by Monday, April 3, 2023.
