These proposals build on the expectation set out in the government’s 2019 Green Finance Strategy, that all listed companies and large asset owners should disclose in line with the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosure (TCFD) recommendations by 2022.
The proposals have been developed in cooperation with the HM Treasury-led TCFD , which has considered an approach to economy-wide mandatory climate-related financial disclosure, as set out in the 2020 Roadmap and Interim Report. The proposals are an important step towards the UK’s intention to become the first G20 country to make TCFD-aligned disclosures mandatory across the economy as set out by the Chancellor on 9 November 2020.
