The risks and opportunities arising from climate change extend across all activities and sectors with financial, physical and regulatory impacts to business.
KPMG Climate IQ technology will assess operations and supply chains to help quantify your organisation's climate impact for more thorough, future proof climate reporting.
Climate risk analysis and reporting
The business world has been talking about climate change and decarbonisation for some time, but measurement has been mostly qualitative. Managing climate risk and balance sheet impacts to drive future value must be quantified.
This includes analysing and reporting on the following:
Global climate scenarios
Businesses must consider different scenarios for the impact of global warming using a range of temperatures and how these will impact their operations and supply chains.
Climate financial risks
Forecasting profit and loss performance under different climate scenarios allows for actionable insights. It guides resilience strategies and helps businesses identify efficiencies and opportunities for growth, to inform their capital expenditure and resource planning.
Stakeholder demands
Transparent and robust disclosures such as annual and sustainability reports, will not only satisfy investors, and regulators but also staff, clients, and the general public.

Frequently asked questions
Is TCFD reporting mandatory in Australia?
No. TCFD reporting is not mandatory in Australia. However, it is seen by the Australian Government as a sound framework for existing climate risk disclosure requirements (1), enabling companies to remain aligned to market expectations.
Why did the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) propose a new disclosure on climate risks?
The proposed rules are intended to provide more consistent, comparable and reliable information so investors can better evaluate the impact of climate-related matters on a registrant.
What are the ISSB standards and when do they kick in?
The International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) has prepared a set of disclosure standards which builds on the existing TCFD requirements and aim to provide a global baseline of disclosure requirements. The ISSB standards are effective from 1 January 2024 and the Australian Government is currently considering what this means for implementation requirements in Australia.
