2019 study of climate-related disclosures by Canadian public companies: Summary report
Since the release of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) recommendations in 2017, there has been increased momentum for the disclosure of climate-related issues in mainstream financial filings.
The study looked at climate-related disclosures provided by 40 TSX-listed companies in their regulatory and voluntary reporting, including an assessment of their alignment with the TCFD recommendations. Based on our work to date, we have prepared a summary report to share some of our initial findings. Our full report will be released in Spring 2020.
This report is a follow-up to CPA Canada's 2016 study, State of Play: Study of Climate-related Disclosures by Canadian Public Companies.
