Panel Discussion - Disclosure, Reporting, and the Benefits of Cohesive Initiatives: How can Investors Navigate the Lack of Standardised Reporting?

Sustainable Innovation Forum 2021 (Day 2)
Finance Stage

Information

Improving climate disclosures enables investors to better allocate capital and enhances corporate focus on the risks - and opportunities - climate change will bring about. Failure to meet investor demands can threaten a company's ability to raise finance leaving it vulnerable to physical climate threats, slow to capitalise on opportunities, and potentially exposed to punitive action from regulators. Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) has provided a unifying framework to identify, manage, and detail those risks and opportunities around which other disclosure benchmarks are coalescing.  

· Can disclosure reporting protect against the financial shocks seen in the past 18 months?  

· Benefits of stress testing and adopting TCFDs 

· How useful is the framework for asset managers?
