*² TCFD
The Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures was established in 2015 by the Financial Stability Board (FSB), which is an international organization that seeks to stabilize the financial system. It recommended that companies disclose information on the financial risks and opportunities related to climate change across four core elements: Governance, Strategy, Risk Management, and Metrics and Targets. Although the TCFD completed its mission and was disbanded in October 2023, its recommendations continue to be widely referenced by companies. The development of international standards for climate-related disclosures is currently being advanced by the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB).
