Climate-related or TCFD disclosures: How are Philippine companies faring?

Building on our long-standing survey and benchmarking expertise, the Climate and Resilience Hub works closely with corporates, financial institutions, regulators and other stakeholders around the world to provide practical insights into a rapidly evolving policy landscape and emerging practice on climate-related issues.

As part of this, the Climate Disclosure Pulse Survey examines how Philippine companies currently align with the TCFD recommendations, which are grouped into four thematic areas representing core elements of how organizations operate—governance, strategy, risk management, and metrics and targets. The TCFD is a globally accepted climate change action and reporting framework serving as a basis for the Philippines Securities and Exchange Commission’s 2019 Sustainability Reporting Guidelines for Publicly Listed Companies.

The survey was conducted online from July to October of 2021. Seventy-nine percent of respondents are companies listed on the Philippine Stock Exchange. More than half of the companies surveyed have revenues of up to ₱50 billion while some are in between ₱50 billion and ₱250 billion or above ₱250 billion. Companies that participated received a more detailed report allowing benchmarking of responses.
