Respond to Emerging Climate Disclosure Requirements

Climate regulation is accelerating, and stakeholders are demanding transparency. The Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) framework and California’s SB 261 mandate present reporting obligations and, more importantly, strategic opportunities. Wherever you are in your climate-disclosure journey, we can help transform regulatory compliance into value creation for your organization.

Reporting Services Aligned with TCFD & SB 261

Governance, Strategy & Risk Management

We guide you in assessing governance structures, board oversight processes, and strategy alignment that embed climate risk and opportunity into business planning. Your reporting will tell a cohesive story: how climate risks and opportunities flow through your operations, financials, and long-term vision.

Climate Scenario Analysis & Forward-Looking Disclosure

SB 261 requires forward-looking analysis under multiple climate scenarios. We help you run scenario modeling (e.g., 1.5 °C, 2 °C, business-as-usual), surface financial impacts, and present those results in a way that meets regulatory and investor-grade expectations.

Metrics, Targets & Performance Tracking

Our team supports you in understanding and calculating emissions (Scope 1, 2, and material Scope 3), evaluating physical and transition risks, setting science-based and strategic targets, and designing dashboards or scorecards to track progress and inform future strategy.

Integrated Reporting & Stakeholder Communication

We assist in weaving climate disclosures into your annual reports, sustainability disclosures, or standalone SB 261 filings, in alignment with IFRS sustainability reporting standards. Stakeholders should see consistency: your narrative, metrics, and governance should tell the same story.

Why This Matters Now

Regulatory Alignment

SB 261 goes into effect January 1, 2026, for U.S.-based companies (above revenue thresholds) that do business in the state of California.

Investor Expectations

Capital providers increasingly demand climate transparency and scenario analysis disclosure.

Risk Mitigation

Understanding physical and transition risks can preserve margins and protect capital.

Value Creation

Clear disclosures boost brand credibility, stakeholder trust, and strategic resilience.

Key Reporting Elements 

To be SB 261 compliant and TCFD-aligned, your disclosure should meaningfully address:

→ Governance—Board oversight, management accountability, climate literacy

→ Strategy—Time horizons, risks and opportunities, impacts on business models

→ Risk Management—Integration into enterprise risk frameworks, and escalation mechanisms

→ Metrics & Targets—GHG emissions, physical and transition risks, target progress, link to incentives

→ Scenario Analysis—Forward-looking stress tests under different climate pathways

→ Narrative Integration—Connecting all pillars within your broader business story
