Start with the disclosures you can make now and expand the depth and breadth of reporting over time. As per the TNFD recommendations, you are expected to apply the general requirements in the TNFD recommendations to create consistency and comparability in the information disclosed. Can I use existing data to make a TNFD-aligned disclosure?Yes. You can start publishing disclosures based on the information and data available to you. Is it possible for corporates and financial institutions to adopt the TNFD recommendations without having to create a separate TNFD report through the use of cross-reference tables? Yes. While each organisation needs to determine its own approach to the presentation of material sustainability-related information – whether in combined or separate documents – the use of cross-reference tables can enable corporates and financial institutions to adopt the TNFD recommendations without the need to create a separate TNFD report. Find out more about our standards alignment work. Where do TNFD-aligned disclosures need to be published?Consistent with the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards or equivalent local market regulatory requirements, TNFD-aligned disclosures should be published alongside financial statements as part of the same reporting package. Note that TNFD disclosures do not have to be published at the same time as the financial statements. Where local market regulatory requirements prohibit or restrict the inclusion of TNFD disclosures within the same reporting package, they can be published wherever your organisation publishes its annual sustainability reporting, including climate-related disclosures (see also the question below). Does the report have to be issued at any particular time of the designated year?No. The TNFD recognises that organisations around the world report on different financial years and publish their annual reports at different times of the year as a result. Can the TNFD-aligned nature-related disclosures be integrated with TCFD-aligned climate-related disclosures?Yes. The TNFD have aligned their recommendations as much as possible with the language, structure and approach of the TCFD and ISSB for exactly this purpose – to encourage integrated climate and nature reporting. The climate-related information and nature-related information must be suitably clear and transparent for the report user, as called for by the ISSB’s IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards. Do I have to start adopting the TNFD recommendations for my whole organisation?No. You can start disclosing information in relation to part of your operations. However, we encourage organisations to get started with nature-related reporting and increase disclosure ambition over time to grow coverage across direct operations and value chains. As per the TNFD recommendations, you are expected to apply the general requirements in the TNFD recommendations to describe clearly, at the start of your disclosure statement, the scope of the disclosures you are making so this is clear for report users. This enables you to define and communicate clearly the breadth and depth of the coverage of the disclosures you are making. Does the report have to be issued at any particular time of the designated year?No. The TNFD recognises that organisations around the world report on different financial years and publish their annual reports at different times of the calendar year as a result. How will the TNFD publish the list of TNFD Adopters?From 16 January 2024, a list of TNFD Adopters has been available on our website for FY2024 (or earlier) and FY2025 reporters. The list is updated monthly. TNFD Early Adopters are organisations that registered before 10 January 2024. All other organisations are listed as TNFD Adopters. Will the TNFD be checking if companies that signal their intentions now actually disclose later?Yes. The TNFD, like any other market observer, will be able to track whether your organisation has made disclosures as it intended to do, by looking for your publicly released mainstream financial reports in the designated year. Like the TCFD, we will analyse market adoption rates of our recommendations in Annual Status Reports, which will be made publicly available. Can we become a TNFD Adopter if we are assessing our nature-related issues (for example, using or piloting the LEAP approach) but we are not yet ready to start reporting in our mainstream financial reports?No. The TNFD Adopters are only these organisations which are willing to publicly signal their intention to start disclosing their nature-related issues. The TNFD Adopters are only these organisations which publicly commit to disclose their nature-related issues. If you are identifying and assessing your nature-related issues, or interested in starting to do so, and feel you need more time to judge when you will be ready to start disclosing, the TNFD would be delighted for you to join other organisations already in the TNFD Forum and participate in the TNFD Community of Practice to help build your internal knowledge and capabilities. Can we become an Adopter if we have included TNFD-aligned disclosures in previous reporting years? Yes. As long as your disclosures align with TNFD’s final recommendations published in September 2023 and not earlier drafts issued by TNFD for market consultation (i.e. beta versions). We invest in private markets and do not make our annual financial reports publicly available, instead we disclose them to our investors only. How can we become a TNFD Adopters?In addition to making the TNFD-aligned disclosures available to your investors alongside the annual financial reports, your company should publicly publish just the TNFD disclosures (on your company website, perhaps alongside your TCFD disclosures).
