Webinar – “Another Awkward Acronym: Demystifying TCFD”

Following the cancellation of our 20th Anniversary Conference that was scheduled in February 2020 in Hong Kong due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have decided to convert some of our workshops from the conference programme to webinars.

The first webinar will be held on Wednesday, 10 June 2020 at 5pm HKT on the topic of the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD).

Please see the details below.

Topic: “Another Awkward Acronym: Demystifying TCFD”
A workshop introducing TCFD and why it has rapidly become the gold standard for climate-related reporting. Despite its forbidding acronym, TCFD offers companies a practical framework for thinking about and reporting on the impact of climate change on their businesses. It puts governance at the heart of the process and provides sensible guidance on strategy, risk management, and metrics/target setting. What more could regulators be doing to promote the concept to listed companies? Are investors communicating effectively with companies on this issue? What do companies need to do to gear up?
