Talking ESG: TNFD launches a final nature reporting framework
Publication date: 05 Oct 2023
us Podcast
We discuss the newly issued TNFD nature-related disclosure recommendations and why companies should begin to understand this framework now.
The Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) released its final disclosure recommendations for nature-related dependencies, impacts, risks and opportunities on September 18. Given the interrelationship between climate and nature — and the dependence of business on nature — companies may want to consider this new framework as a tool in communicating their full sustainability story.
This week, Heather Horn is joined by Daniel O’Brien, PwC Canada’s Sustainable Business Solutions leader and TNFD member, to discuss what companies should do now to prepare to make effective nature-related disclosures.
In this episode, you’ll hear discussion of:
- 4:18 - Background on the TNFD, including how the taskforce was formed and its mission
- 8:11 - The key principles of the TNFD framework and interoperability of the TCFD framework with existing climate reporting frameworks
- 13:36 - Complexities in critical areas of the TNFD framework
- 20:08 - Recommendations for how companies should approach TNFD disclosures
- 29:29 - How companies should approach data collection for qualitative and quantitative nature disclosures
- 31:10 - Best practices and common pitfalls in reporting nature-related disclosures
- 37:33 - Final thoughts on why companies should consider utilizing the TNFD framework
