ExecutESG Consolidated Definition

TCFD

The Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) was established by the Financial Stability Board to develop voluntary, consistent climate-related financial risk disclosures for use by companies when providing information to investors and lenders.

The Four Pillars of TCFD:

  1. Governance: Board oversight of climate risks.
  2. Strategy: Physical and transition risks impact.
  3. Risk Management: Identifying and managing climate risks.
  4. Metrics & Targets: Tracking Scope 1-3 carbon emissions.

SME Relevance & B2B Inbound Action:

The TCFD framework is now officially integrated into IFRS S2 and CSRD. Building your GHG metrics in Aura Understand ensures automatic alignment with TCFD criteria.
