Aligning with ISSB standards
The Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), now incorporated under the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB), remains a critical reference for investors worldwide as climate change continues to impact the global economy. The reporting framework is designed to help markets more efficiently price in the financial risks of climate change.

How are ISSB standards structured?
The guidelines form the basis of numerous regulatory developments and MSCI solutions. The ISSB’s IFRS S1 (General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial Information) and IFRS S2 (Climate-related Disclosures) have adopted the TCFD’s architecture of four key pillars.
Governance
Board oversight and management’s role in assessing and managing climate-related risks and opportunities.
Strategy
Actual and potential impacts of climate-related risks and opportunities on business operations and strategy. This includes climate scenario analysis.
Risk management
How an organization identifies, assesses and manages climate-related risks.
Metrics and targets
Used to assess and manage climate-related risks along with performance against targets.
