Join ERM for a webinar explaining the new PRI climate reporting requirements, what they mean for its signatories, and how companies can meet the expectations this year. We will also discuss recent TCFD-aligned transactions in Asia supported by ERM.
Already recognized by leading financial sector players, climate change presents one of the major yet least addressed investment risks.
As part of a growing response, the UN Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) - the largest investor network focused on sustainable investing - introduced Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) aligned climate indicators to its Reporting Framework on a voluntary basis in 2018. Beginning in 2020, however, the strategy and governance indicators become mandatory for its signatories, with remaining PRI climate risk indicators staying voluntary with a view to becoming mandatory as good practice develops.
ERM was the sole consulting firm engaged by the TCFD to prepare technical guidance on scenario analysis for climate-related financial risk assessment and has also partnered with PRI, including jointly launched guidance on ESG monitoring, reporting and dialogue in private equity.
