The pressure on companies from investors and other stakeholders to address climate change keeps increasing. On the one hand companies play a major part in the realisation of climate targets; on the other hand, many face significant climate risks. Hence it becomes a necessity to incorporate climate-related risks in their risk management procedures and their external reporting. However, reporting on climate-related risks and opportunities and especially their impact on financial statements is still in its infancy as companies struggle to follow the TCFD recommendations and define the interrelation between nonfinancial and financial performance.
