The TCFD (Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures) is a framework that helps companies report how climate change affects their business 🌡️. It focuses on physical risks (storms, droughts) and transition risks (regulations, carbon pricing) that may have financial impact.
The TNFD (Task Force on Nature-related Financial Disclosures) applies the same approach but related to nature and biodiversity 🌳. It considers the company’s impacts and dependencies on natural resources (water, soil, pollinators, etc.) and the risks posed by their degradation.
Both are based on four pillars:
Governance
Describes how the company manages these topics from the board and management level.
Strategy
Explains how climate/nature-related risks and opportunities affect business planning.
Risk Management
Presents the internal process to identify, assess, and mitigate these risks.
Metrics and Targets
Indicates which indicators are used to measure progress and set clear goals 📊.
Both are complementary and compatible, and aligned with the new CSRD directive. Integrating them allows companies to anticipate future regulations and improve their resilience 🌱.
