Banks' climate-related disclosures Banks' climate-related disclosures Banks' climate-related disclosures

We performed benchmarking of the climate-related disclosures included in the 2021 annual reports and other standalone reports of 35 major, global banks in two phases. We also benchmarked how banks’ disclosures align with the recommended disclosures of the Task Force on Climate-related Disclosures (TCFD). The banks we have selected span the UK and Europe, Australia, Canada, Asia and the US.

Read our benchmarking analysis on how banks reported on climate-related matters in the 2021 reporting season. The reports include the scope and approach of our analysis. See phase 1 on how we have assessed the disclosures as ‘more detailed’, ‘less detailed’ or ‘no disclosures’ provided and phase 2 for maturity scale we used to assess banks’ climate-related disclosures.
