Climate change and TCFD reporting – “Where do I start?” guide

 

With an increasing focus from investors, regulators and other stakeholder groups on environmental, social and governance (ESG) policies and actions, organisations need to provide better information to demonstrate how these issues have been considered, particularly in relation to climate change.

 

The recommendations of the TCFD are now incorporated into the Financial Conduct Authority (‘FCA’) Listing Rules for major listed companies, and similar reporting on climate change has been extended through the UK Companies Act to other listed companies and the largest private businesses, as well as LLPs.

 

Our Where do I start? guide provides a high-level overview of the climate change/TCFD reporting requirements that currently apply or will apply in the near future for companies. To download the guide, click here.

As cyber criminals become increasingly sophisticated, professional and resourceful, organisations must extend their lines of defence beyond technical controls and crisis response plans to their people.

Unfortunately, the crucial people component is not always fully considered; security can be seen as simply a technology problem and there is often substantial under investment in educating employees about their role in securing the organisation.

 

The level of resourcefulness shown by cyber criminal groups needs to be matched by organisations in their response to cyber attacks. Ensuring that employees fully understand and demonstrate the right security behaviours is key to reducing the efficacy of a potential cyber attack. Follow this link for more information.
