TNFD reporting in action – Insights from the Asset Management Industry

In this webinar, organisations that have recently published a TNFD report shared unique TNFD reporting insights.

Whereas climate has become an established part of organisations’ sustainability reporting, nature reports aligned with TNFD are only now being released, following the publication of the final TNFD recommendations in September 2023.

Representing four asset managers, the panellists have shared their experiences with starting on and publishing TNFD-aligned disclosures, including: practical concerns associated with nature reporting, the internal motivations and resourcing needed, insights into obstacles and how they surpassed those, and the benefits of starting now.

Key focus areas of this webinar

Showcase early TNFD disclosure in public reports to demonstrate how TNFD reporting is already feasible, material, relevant, and decision-useful.
Demonstrate the relevance and materiality of TNFD disclosures to investors and businesses.
Provide examples of integrating climate and nature reporting and how companies are restructuring their integrated reports to align with the TCFD and TNFD frameworks.
Help build capacity and enable further adoption of TNFD recommendations.
