In the regulatory landscape of climate reporting, staying ahead is not just necessary—it's imperative. We need a clear understanding of scope 3 emissions to navigate our regulatory environment, remain compliant, build trust with stakeholders and attract investment for the future. 🌱 Navigating a fluid regulatory environment: As directives like the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) push for more detailed emissions reporting, and bodies like the Science-Based Targets Initiative continuously update their guidance, the need for robust Scope 3 emissions understanding becomes increasingly crucial. Proactive engagement in these areas isn't just about compliance—it’s about seizing leadership. 🔍 Risks of Non-Compliance: The consequences of non-compliance can be severe, ranging from hefty fines to reputational damage. For food and ag companies, building competency in Scope 3 emissions reporting is not just beneficial but essential to avoid pitfalls and to prepare for tighter future regulations. 🌾 Building Trust and Attracting Investment: A 2022 PwC survey revealed that 44% of investors prioritize tackling climate change, with 64% focusing on ESG investing to boost returns. Transparent and accurate emissions reporting not only builds trust among regulators and stakeholders but also attracts investors who are increasingly demanding sustainability in their portfolios. Understanding and actively managing Scope 3 emissions is more than a regulatory necessity—it's a strategic advantage in today's dynamic business environment. #ClimateAction #Compliance #RiskManagement #Scope3 #Sustainability #AgricultureResilience #ClimateRisk #FutureofFood

Given the amount of industry jargon, it’s easy to see why sustainability – and particularly sustainability regulations - are unrelatable to many people. Consider this (tongue in cheek, but near enough accurate) explanation of the current regulatory landscape… “We need to reduce GHGs, measured in CO2e, especially CO2, in order to align with the IPCC AR6 RCPs or SSPs, even though HFCs have a higher GWP. TCFD and SASB were integrated into the ISSB, part of IFRS, which also consolidated the CDSB from CDP and the VRF, before publishing S1 and S2. Meanwhile the FCA introduced SECR and SDR, alongside CSRD (in the form of ESRS by EFRAG), meaning reporting on IROs, and SFDR requires you to measure your PAIs and the TR requires you to DNSH, whilst ESMA has rules on fund names aligning with PABs and CTBs and CSDDD is now coming too. It’s important to have an ESG function to help set SBT and to be part of the likes of GFANZ (founded after COP), IIGCC, UNPRI, NZAM, NZIF or NZAOA. Be sure to measure your ITR, CVaR and WACI and use PCAF and report in line with the SDGs and GRI. Great work is being done by the TPT, whereas the SEC is delayed and TNFD LEAPs are becoming better understood.” While acronyms serve to streamline communication among experts, they can also create barriers to understanding for the general public. Effective communication about climate change requires not only using these acronyms but also ensuring that their meanings are clearly explained. This is essential for fostering broad-based understanding and engagement with climate issues. If anyone would like to understand this regulatory puzzle better, please do reach out!

ESG criteria have become increasingly important for investors and companies alike, as they evaluate the long-term sustainability and societal impact of their investments and business practices. Climate change risk is a significant component of the "E" (Environmental) aspect of ESG. Integrating climate change considerations into decision-making processes is essential for long-term value creation and resilience in a changing global landscape. Companies must strategize for upcoming and existing regulatory compliance, supply chain vulnerabilities, and stakeholder and investor pressure, among other key requirements. It's important to note that while there is no one department responsible for all, all departments within an organization hold accountability for different portfolios. Climate change risk is a critical consideration for investors and companies within the broader framework of ESG as it impacts not only environmental sustainability but also financial performance, regulatory compliance, and stakeholder relations. I'm happy to share that I had the opportunity to learn more about this context from TUV SUD! As we move forward towards a more sustainable future, it's essential to stay informed and take action to address climate change risk. Feel free to discuss on collaboration and capacity building at both organisational and individual level ! #ESG #climatechange #sustainability #investing #longtermvalue #resilience #tuvsud #financialinstitutions #organisations

🏛️ Navigating the SEC Sustainability Rules #5: Market Readiness 🏛️ In our final post of this series, we dive into the Economic Analysis segment of the SEC's rules, assessing the current state of sustainability reporting among registrants. Key Insights: 1. Market Readiness: The SEC estimates that 3,700 of the 2022 respondents traded on the European market and were likely to fall under the scope of the CSRD. This connection is expected to accelerate the adoption of sustainability reporting requirements, easing the transition to comply with the SEC's climate rules. 2. Trend in Climate Reporting: From 2016 to 2022, the SEC notes an increase in the mention of climate-related keywords such as "climate change," "climate risk," and "global warming" in filings. Interestingly, foreign companies slightly lead with 38% mentioning these keywords in 2022, compared to 35% of domestic firms. 3. Reporting differences between companies: In 2022, 68% of LAFs mentioned these keywords, followed by 49% of AFs, and notably lower percentages among NAFs, SRCs, and EGCs. This shows a disparity in reporting practices that correlates with company size and type, explaining the implementation by phases decided by the SEC for its final rules. 4. Sustainability Goals and Targets: The SEC found that 37% of issuers disclosed a climate change policy, with a majority being LAFs. Additionally, 45% have announced or undertaken emission reduction initiatives, 17% only aim for net-zero GHG emissions, and only 11% have set or are planning to set science-based GHG emission targets. Final update on the status of the SEC climate rule: a new survey by Bloomberg Law unveils that most attorneys think the rule will only survive in part or will be completely overturned.

The AASB is proposing the ASRS Standards would apply to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2024. In January 2024, the Australian Treasury released its Final Policy position for climate-related disclosures, including Exposure Draft legislation and accompanying explanatory materials. To understand the new standards, @KPMG will be sharing insights on how to prepare for this change and how the market is approaching the challenge.
