جوهر الإفصاح
This disclosure asks an organisation to explain how climate-related risks could affect its finances, strategy and operations, and how it is managing those risks. In practice, the report should focus on the main risk types the organisation faces, the time horizons it uses to think about them, and the actions it is taking to assess, reduce or respond to those risks.
The practical emphasis is usually on the organisation as a whole, not just a few high-profile sites. That means looking across relevant operations, assets, supply chains and business activities where climate risk could matter, rather than limiting the discussion to flagship locations or isolated examples.

حوّل الإفصاح إلى سؤال عمل داخلي، ثم كيّفه بما يتوافق مع مصطلحات مؤسستك.
What climate-related risks could affect the business, and how are they described across the organisation’s main risk categories and time horizons?
Use your organisation’s own risk language first, then map it to the disclosure categories. For example, ask for the risks your teams already track in risk registers, scenario work, business continuity, or strategic planning, rather than using framework labels in the first ask. Check the official source before sign-off.
طلب ضعيف
Please provide the climate-related financial risk disclosure evidence for the reporting period, including physical and transition risks and all material categories.
لماذا يفشل: It uses framework language first, which can force the owner to translate before they can answer. It also does not point to the organisation’s own risk records, so the response may be incomplete or hard to trace back to source documents.

ملاحظة منهجية
The disclosure should explain the basis used to identify and group climate-related financial risks, including how the organisation distinguished physical from transition exposures and how it assigned them to short, medium and long time periods.
ملاحظة سياقية
The figures should help readers understand where climate-related financial risk is concentrated, which parts of the business or value chain are most exposed, and whether the main concerns are immediate or longer dated.
بيان التقلبات
If the profile changes from one period to the next, the reporter can note whether that reflects a revised assessment, a change in business activity, updated climate assumptions, or movement in the timing or severity of the risks.

| We based the coverage figure on the operations and activities we actually reviewed, and we can show how we decided what was in and out. | An assurer will test whether the boundary was set consistently, whether exclusions were deliberate, and whether the figure could be overstated or understated by selective coverage. | Boundary memo, inclusion/exclusion list, management sign-off, source population listing, and any reconciliation between the reviewed population and the reported figure. |
| We used the same reporting approach across the disclosed areas, and we can point to the framework note that guided how the information was assembled. | An assurer will check whether the preparation basis was applied consistently and whether the report really follows the stated reporting approach rather than a mix of methods. | Reporting methodology paper, framework mapping, internal guidance, version-controlled draft, and evidence of review against the chosen reporting basis. |
| We checked the disclosed area for climate-related financial exposures affecting people and invested assets, and we would note clearly if nothing material was found. | An assurer will probe whether the assessment covered the right population and asset base, whether materiality was judged consistently, and whether a ‘none identified’ statement is supportable. | Risk assessment workbook, materiality criteria, workshop notes, asset and workforce lists, and sign-off from the relevant business owners. |
| We documented the actions already in place to lessen the exposure and to adjust our plans, and we can trace each action back to the risk it was meant to address. | An assurer will test whether the response measures are real, current, and linked to the risks described, rather than being generic or aspirational. | Action tracker, project plans, control descriptions, budget approvals, implementation evidence, and ownership records for each measure. |
| Where our reporting was not fully complete, we explained the gaps, set out what we could support at the time, and recorded the next steps for filling the missing pieces. | An assurer will check whether omissions were clearly explained, whether the partial disclosure is honest about limitations, and whether there is a credible plan to improve completeness. | Gap log, rationale for omissions, draft-to-final change log, improvement plan, and evidence of follow-up actions or assigned owners. |
| We used the time bands we had defined in advance when assessing the disclosed risks, and we can show how those periods were applied in the analysis. | An assurer will probe whether the chosen periods were set before the assessment, applied consistently, and matched the way the risk analysis was actually performed. | Time-horizon methodology, planning papers, risk assessment outputs by period, and evidence that the same bands were used across the disclosure. |

We describe how climate-related risks could affect our business over the near, middle and longer term, separating weather-driven losses from transition pressures. - Physical hazards could disrupt generation sites, damage grid assets and raise repair spend; in this example, £18m of the £30m estimated exposure is near term, £9m is medium term and £3m is long term, with the same profile also affecting employee safety and the continuity of our operations and supply chain. - On the transition side, policy, technology and market shifts could reduce customer uptake, weaken asset values and tighten financing conditions; here, £12m of the £20m estimated exposure is near term, £6m is medium term and £2m is long term, with knock-on effects for capital deployment, consumer demand, financial markets and the wider economy.
This example shows a utility-style reporter linking weather damage and transition pressure to operations, workers, suppliers, customers, investment value and broader market conditions across three time horizons.
We explain how climate-related risks may affect our group across short, medium and longer horizons, using separate estimates for weather-related and transition-related pressures. - Physical events such as heat, flood and water stress could interrupt production, affect staff wellbeing, and strain inbound ingredients and packaging; in this example, £9m of the £15m estimated exposure is short term, £4m is medium term and £2m is long term. - Transition pressures, including changing regulation, customer preferences and financing conditions, could reduce demand, pressure margins and lower the value of planned investments; here, £6m of the £10m estimated exposure is short term, £3m is medium term and £1m is long term, with possible spillovers into our operations and the broader economy.
This example shows a manufacturer describing physical and transition risks in plain language, with separate time buckets and clear links to demand, investment value, worker safety, supply continuity and market-wide effects.

سيناريوهات للتمرّن
A preparer is drafting the climate-risk section for a group with manufacturing sites, a lending book, and a large retail customer base. The team has notes on flood exposure at two plants, possible changes in customer buying patterns, and a review of how weather events could affect deliveries.
A finance lead has prepared a short paragraph saying the company faces weather-related disruption, but it does not say when those effects are expected to show up. The risk team has separate notes for near-term, mid-range, and longer-range planning.
A company has identified a possible shift away from a carbon-intensive product line, but the draft only mentions a general strategic concern. It does not explain whether the issue could affect revenue, financing, or asset values.
A preparer has a draft that lists storm damage at one site and heat stress for warehouse staff, but the supply-chain team says a key supplier in another region could also be disrupted by the same weather pattern. The draft does not yet mention that supplier dependency.

Start with the plain-language explainer, then work through the step-by-step preparation section and the datapoints list. The page also gives draft-output ideas, so you can turn the collected information into a narrative and a content-index line.
The page points you to nine datapoints: capital and investment risk, customer demand risk, workforce health risk, market stability risk, operating disruption risk, physical climate risk, supplier disruption risk, risk timing bands, and transition climate risk. Use those as the starting checklist for data collection.
Use the page’s datapoints list as your scope check and make sure each risk area is considered before drafting. The common reporting gaps section is there to help you spot omissions early.
The page does not assign roles, but it is designed for sustainability/ESG managers, HR or data owners, and assurance reviewers to use together. In practice, you would use the workbook and evidence pack to coordinate ownership and sign-off across those people.
The page includes an evidence pack with five items to support assurance readiness. Use it alongside the six assurance claims to verify that each claim, risk and evidence point is covered.
The page says there are six assurance claims to verify, each linked to a claim, risk and evidence check. Use the assurance section to test whether your draft is supported before it goes to review.
The page has a list of common reporting gaps and mistakes to help you avoid missing key risk areas or weak evidence. It is meant as a practical check before you finalise the draft.
The Download Centre includes a Prep & Assurance workbook in .xlsx format and a printable Library Card in .pdf format. Use the workbook to organise preparation and assurance checks, then use the Library Card as a quick reference while drafting.
Yes, but only as synthetic illustrations. The page’s example disclosures are there to show how the content can be presented, so you should adapt them to your own data and evidence rather than copy them.
The page says the closest ESRS correspondence is ESRS E1 (Climate Change). You can reuse data where it is relevant, but the page does not say the requirements are identical, so you still need to check the disclosure against your own reporting needs.
