Kern der Offenlegung
This disclosure asks an organisation to explain how climate-related risks and opportunities could affect its finances over time. In practice, that means describing the expected impacts on revenue, costs, assets, liabilities, cash flows or access to finance where those effects are material, and showing how the organisation has identified and assessed them. The focus is not just on whether climate matters in principle, but on the likely financial consequences that are reasonably anticipated from material physical risks, transition risks and relevant climate-related opportunities.
The practical emphasis is on coverage across the parts of the business that matter most to the assessment, rather than only highlighting a few flagship sites or isolated examples. An organisation should consider the areas, assets, operations and time horizons that drive the financial effect, and explain the basis for any estimates, assumptions and uncertainties used. The aim is to give users a clear view of where climate could change the organisation’s financial position or performance, and how broad that assessment is across the group or value chain where relevant.

Daten anfordern
Request the climate risk and opportunity financials from Finance
Übersetzen Sie die Offenlegung in eine interne Geschäftsfrage — und passen Sie diese dann an die Sprache Ihrer Organisation an.
What amounts, locations, methods and assumptions do we need to support the expected financial impact of climate-related physical risks, transition risks and climate opportunities in our reporting period?
Use your own finance and risk terms first, then map them to the reporting categories. Ask for the figures and supporting notes in the way your team already tracks exposures, sites, revenue lines, assets and scenario work; do not start from the framework labels unless that is how your organisation already works.
Schwache Anfrage
Please provide the ESRS E1:E1-11 data for material physical and transition risks and climate opportunities, including all financial effects, methodology, assumptions and location information.
Warum sie scheitert: It uses framework language first, which makes it harder for the owner to recognise the data in their own records. It also bundles several different asks without saying which internal files, categories or basis should be used, so the response is likely to be incomplete or inconsistent.
Bessere Anfrage
Please send the latest finance pack for climate-related exposures and opportunities for [period]. I need the amounts for assets, revenue and any liabilities your team tracks, plus the site or portfolio location, the source file, the currency basis, the method used, and any assumptions or gaps. Please use your team’s own labels first, then we can map them to the reporting categories.

|---|---|---|
| We used the same calculation rules and presentation approach across the amounts and percentages in the coverage figure, so the figures are comparable and not built on mixed methods. | The assurer will test whether different parts of the table were prepared on different bases, whether percentages were derived consistently, and whether any presentation choice could mislead users about comparability. | Working papers showing the calculation method, mapping of source data to reported figures, spreadsheet formulas, review notes on presentation choices, and sign-off confirming one consistent basis was applied throughout. |
| We split the loan-security balance by energy performance band using the information we could obtain, and where a band could not be populated from source records we prepared an internal estimate for the missing total. | The assurer will probe whether the split is complete, whether the estimate for missing information is supportable, and whether the reported total could be overstated or understated because of gaps in the underlying records. | Collateral register, energy-rating source files, reconciliation of the split to the total balance, methodology for any internal estimate, assumptions log, and evidence of management review over missing-data treatment. |
| We set out how we quantified the expected financial impact from the identified climate exposures, including which parts of the business were in scope and how our risk assessment process fed into the numbers. | The assurer will check whether the quantification method is clear, whether the scope matches the stated exposure set, and whether the risk process actually drove the estimate rather than being added after the fact. | Methodology paper, risk assessment outputs, scope memo, model inputs and outputs, links between risk registers and the reported amounts, and approval evidence from the preparers and reviewers. |
| We documented the key judgements behind the estimate, including the main assumptions, input settings and known constraints that could move the result. | The assurer will look for hidden assumptions, unsupported parameter choices, and limitations that were not disclosed or were not considered in the estimate. | Assumptions register, parameter sheets, sensitivity or scenario analysis, limitation notes, version history, and evidence that the key judgements were reviewed and challenged before publication. |
| We included grouped site locations for assets exposed to significant physical hazards so the reported picture reflects where the exposure sits without exposing unnecessary detail. | The assurer will test whether the location grouping is sufficiently specific to support the reported exposure, whether any sites were omitted, and whether the aggregation masks material concentrations of risk. | Asset location schedule, mapping or geospatial support, aggregation logic, completeness checks against the asset base, and review evidence showing the grouped locations were validated before release. |
| Where the financial statements already mention a possible climate-related liability, we linked the disclosure back to the relevant note or line item so users can trace it easily. | The assurer will check whether the cross-reference is accurate, whether the referenced financial statement item really relates to the same matter, and whether the linkage is clear enough for users to follow. | Financial statement cross-reference table, draft and final note references, tie-out to the relevant accounting disclosure, and review sign-off confirming the linkage is correct. |

Synthetisch, von LRA verfasst — nicht aus einem Unternehmensbericht und kein Text aus einem Standard.
We have mapped the parts of our operations and sales that sit in areas exposed to climate hazards, and we estimate that 18% of our property, plant and equipment and 12% of annual net sales are linked to those locations; 72% of the identified physical-risk sites already have adaptation measures in place. For slower-burn climate change risks, 27% of our assets and 19% of net sales are exposed, 61% of those sites are covered by response actions, and 14% of the mortgaged property we hold as security sits in lower-efficiency energy bands. We also estimate possible climate-related transition charges of 6 monetary units, using scenario-based cash-flow effects, asset write-downs and cost assumptions; the main limits are that the figures rely on current site data, modelled hazard paths and management estimates. On the upside, 9% of our asset base and 7% of revenue are tied to climate-related opportunities, mainly from efficiency upgrades and lower-carbon product lines.
This is a synthetic, practitioner-style example showing how a company might describe exposure, coverage of response actions, collateral quality, possible transition costs, the method used to estimate effects, key caveats, and the share of assets and revenue linked to climate opportunities.
We have reviewed our warehouse network, stores and related sales to identify where climate hazards could affect value: 11% of our assets and 8% of net revenue are in locations with material flood or heat exposure, and 55% of those sites are already covered by mitigation plans. Looking at the shift to a lower-carbon economy, 22% of assets and 16% of net revenue are exposed, 68% of those sites have transition-response actions in place, and 9% of the property we hold as loan security falls into weaker energy-performance bands. Based on scenario analysis, we estimate potential transition-related liabilities of 4 monetary units; the estimate uses site-level data, internal capex plans and management judgement, and it is constrained by incomplete supplier information and uncertainty over future policy timing. We also identify 13% of assets and 10% of revenue as connected to climate opportunities, mainly through electrified transport, energy-saving retrofits and low-emission service offerings.
This is a second synthetic example for a different sector, showing the same disclosure points with different figures and a different business profile.

Szenarien zum Durcharbeiten
A manufacturer has two sites in a flood-prone area. The finance team has estimated that one plant and part of the related sales base could be affected if severe weather becomes more frequent, and operations have already started some protective work.
A group owns a warehouse portfolio and a vehicle fleet. Management has concluded that some assets may lose value because of policy changes and market shifts linked to the move to a lower-carbon economy, while a separate set of assets is expected to benefit from demand for low-emission services.
A preparer has modelled future cash impacts from heat stress and carbon-pricing changes using internal scenarios, but the estimates rely on broad assumptions about timing, customer behaviour, and asset lives. The team is unsure how much detail to give about the method and its weaknesses.
A retailer has identified a new line of products and services that should benefit from climate-related demand, and the finance team has quantified the assets and sales linked to that opportunity. The team is tempted to present the upside only, because the downside exposures are still being refined.

FAQ
Fragen, die diese Seite beantwortet
Start with the plain-language explainer, then work through the step-by-step ‘how to prepare’ section and the datapoints list. The page is designed to help you move from scoping and data collection to a draft output, rather than to act as an official source.
The page lists the datapoints to prepare, including assets and revenue exposed to physical and transition climate risk, the related action coverage, and the locations of exposed assets. It also points to collateral energy classes, potential climate liabilities, financial effects method, key assumptions and limits, and climate opportunity assets and revenue.
Use the page’s datapoint list and the synthetic illustrative example disclosures to check that each subset sits within the relevant total and that your scope is clear. The page also flags common reporting gaps and mistakes, which is useful for spotting inconsistent boundaries or incomplete coverage.
The page is set up for use by a sustainability or ESG manager, HR or data owner, and assurance reviewer, so ownership should sit with the people closest to the underlying data and controls. Use the step-by-step preparation section and the evidence pack to decide who gathers, checks, and signs off each input.
The page includes an evidence pack with five items specifically for assurance readiness. Use it alongside the six assurance claims to verify so you can show the claim, the risk it addresses, and the supporting evidence in a way an assurance reviewer can follow.
The page says there are six assurance claims to verify, each framed around claim, risk, and evidence. Use them as a checklist to test whether the disclosure is supported, complete, and ready for review before you draft the final wording.
The page lists common reporting gaps and mistakes, so it is meant to help you spot issues before you finalise the disclosure. A practical way to use it is to compare your draft against the datapoints, evidence pack, and illustrative example to catch missing scope, weak support, or unclear methodology.
Use the draft-output section, which includes visualisation ideas, narrative starters, and a content-index line. That gives you a practical route from raw data and evidence to a first draft that can then be checked against the page’s assurance and gap guidance.
The Download Centre includes a Prep & Assurance workbook in .xlsx format, which is intended to help you organise the preparation and assurance steps. Use it together with the printable Library Card PDF if you want a quick reference while collecting data or reviewing the draft.
The page includes synthetic illustrative example disclosures, including a quantitative data table. These are there to show how the disclosure can be structured in practice, not to provide a template you should copy without adapting to your own data and scope.
Yes. The page includes a ‘From company reports’ table that links to real published reports at the pages where the topic is disclosed, which can help you see how the subject is handled in practice.
