TCFD (Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures)

A framework for disclosing climate-related financial risks and opportunities

What is TCFD (Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures)?

The Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) provides recommendations for companies to disclose climate-related financial risks and opportunities. The UK has made TCFD-aligned disclosures mandatory for certain premium-listed companies and is expanding requirements.

Why It Matters for SECR

Many companies face both SECR and TCFD requirements. Understanding both frameworks helps create efficient, joined-up climate reporting.

Examples

  • 1

    Governance disclosures around climate risks

  • 2

    Scenario analysis for physical and transition risks

  • 3

    Integration with financial planning

SECR Reporting Requirements

TCFD is separate from SECR but climate-related financial disclosures may reference SECR emissions data.
