US SEC’s climate proposal vs. TCFD: What you need to know

What are the key differences between the SEC’s proposal and the TCFD, and how can affected businesses prepare? 

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) recently published its climate disclosure proposal, which is based in part on the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Disclosures (TCFD). The TCFD Recommendations have gained widespread acceptance as a global standard for climate-related disclosures and, as a result, a number of jurisdictions (including the UK, Canada, Hong Kong, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore and Switzerland) have either mandated TCFD-aligned reporting in domestic regulation, or are in the process of doing so.

In our client briefing SEC’s climate proposal vs. TCFD: What you need to know, we consider key differences between the SEC Proposal and the TCFD Recommendations, and how affected businesses can get ready for the proposed SEC rule changes.
