Kern der Offenlegung
This disclosure asks an organisation to explain what it is actually doing, and what it is putting behind those actions, to reduce climate impacts and to adapt to climate-related risks. In practice, that means describing the main mitigation and adaptation measures in place, the resources allocated to them, and how these efforts are being managed over time rather than simply stating broad climate ambitions.
The practical focus is on whether the response is real, targeted and sufficiently broad across the business. Organisations should think about coverage across their own operations and value chain where relevant, not just a few flagship sites or headline projects, and make clear where action is concentrated, where it is still limited, and how resources are prioritised between different climate-related needs.

Daten anfordern
Request climate action plan data from the programme owner
Übersetzen Sie die Offenlegung in eine interne Geschäftsfrage — und passen Sie diese dann an die Sprache Ihrer Organisation an.
What climate-related actions, budgets, timings and estimated emissions effects are being tracked for our current mitigation and adaptation work?
Use your organisation’s own programme names, project codes and budget labels first, then map them to the reporting categories. Keep the request in the language the owner already uses for initiatives, spend and delivery milestones, and only translate into the reporting view at the end. This is a possible LRA training template; adapt this to your organisation and check the official source before sign-off.
Schwache Anfrage
Please provide the ESRS E1-5 actions and resources disclosure inputs, including key mitigation actions, key adaptation actions, resources allocated, implementation timeframe, decarbonisation lever, achieved GHG emission reduction and expected GHG emission reduction.
Warum sie scheitert: This uses framework language that many operational owners will not recognise, so it is harder to answer quickly and accurately. It also does not tell the owner which tracker, budget basis, status fields or evidence links to provide, so the response may come back incomplete or inconsistent.
Bessere Anfrage
Please send the current climate programme tracker for [area], showing each initiative’s internal name/code, plain-language summary, funding amount and basis, delivery dates, status, and any emissions-impact estimate you already use. Include the source file or system reference for each line. Use your team’s own labels first, then we will map them to the reporting view. This is a possible LRA training template; adapt this to your organisation and check the official source before sign-off.

Methodenhinweis
Explain how the organisation defined each climate action, how it distinguished emissions-cutting measures from resilience measures, and how it measured the resources, timing, and emissions effects reported for each item.
Kontexthinweis
Set out what the figures show about the organisation’s climate response: which measures are in place, how much support has been committed, when delivery is expected, and how much emissions reduction has already been delivered or is still projected.
Erläuterung zu Schwankungen
If the numbers move materially from one period to the next, link the change to shifts in the action plan, delivery timing, funding levels, or the mix of emissions-reduction measures rather than treating it as a standalone variance.

|---|---|---|
| We prepared the coverage figure from the actions we treated as material for the year, and we documented why each item was included or left out. | Assurer checks whether the population was defined consistently, whether exclusions were selective, and whether the reported figure could be overstated or understated by missing actions. | Scoping memo; inclusion/exclusion criteria; list of candidate actions; management sign-off on the final population; reconciliation between the source list and the published figure. |
| We split the disclosed actions into separate workstreams so the reader can see which measures sit under each lever, and we kept a mapping from source records to the published categories. | Assurer probes whether the grouping is arbitrary, whether one action has been counted twice, or whether the same activity has been placed in the wrong bucket. | Category mapping file; project register; cross-reference between source records and disclosure table; review notes showing how overlaps and duplicates were resolved. |
| We used internal records and project trackers to build the numbers, and we checked that the underlying data were complete for the reporting period before we finalised the table. | Assurer checks for missing source data, cut-off errors, inconsistent time periods, and weak control over manual inputs. | Source extracts; data collection templates; period-end cut-off checks; completeness checks; version history; evidence of review by the preparer and reviewer. |
| We included only the resources we could tie back to approved plans or recorded commitments, and we kept support for the amounts shown in the disclosure. | Assurer probes whether the amounts are supported by real approvals or commitments rather than estimates without basis, and whether the support is traceable to the published figures. | Approved budgets; project approvals; commitment logs; purchase orders or contract summaries where relevant; working papers linking each amount to the disclosure. |
| We separated current-year spend from amounts expected later, and we used the same basis for each time bucket across the table. | Assurer checks whether the timing split is consistent, whether future amounts are speculative, and whether the same item has been counted in more than one period. | Forecast model; budget timetable; assumptions paper; time-horizon definitions; reconciliation showing no overlap between current and future amounts. |
| We recorded the non-cash resources using physical or operational measures, and we kept the units and calculation method consistent across the disclosure. | Assurer probes whether the non-monetary quantities are meaningful, comparable, and not mixed with financial amounts or different units without explanation. | Unit definitions; calculation workbook; source operational data; internal review of unit consistency; evidence that the same basis was used throughout. |

Synthetisch, von LRA verfasst — nicht aus einem Unternehmensbericht und kein Text aus einem Standard.
We describe a package of near-term climate measures that combines operational cuts with resilience work: we are upgrading process equipment, improving heat recovery, and switching part of our electricity use to lower-carbon supply, while also reinforcing site drainage and cooling systems to cope with hotter summers and heavier rainfall.
- We have set aside **€24 million** for delivery over **2025–2028**; **€18 million** is for emissions-cutting work and **€6 million** for climate-resilience measures.
- The main emissions lever is **electrification of two production lines**, which has already lowered annual emissions by **12,000 tCO2e** and is expected to lower them by a further **8,000 tCO2e** once the full programme is complete.
- The resilience work includes **flood barriers, upgraded stormwater capacity, and additional cooling for critical plant**, with the first sites due to finish in **2026** and the full package in **2028**.
Synthetic example for practitioner review only; figures and timing are illustrative and internally consistent.
Our climate plan focuses on store operations and supply-chain resilience: we are replacing refrigeration systems, fitting smarter controls, and expanding low-carbon logistics, while also adding backup power and heat-stress measures for stores and distribution sites.
- We have allocated **€9 million** in total for **2025–2027**; **€7 million** supports emissions reduction and **€2 million** supports adaptation work.
- The main emissions lever is **refrigeration replacement across 40 stores**, which has already cut annual emissions by **3,600 tCO2e** and is expected to cut a further **2,400 tCO2e** when the rollout is finished.
- The resilience package covers **backup generators, improved insulation, and staff heat-response procedures**, with the first phase due in **2025** and completion planned for **2027**.
Synthetic example for practitioner review only; figures and timing are illustrative and internally consistent.

Szenarien zum Durcharbeiten
A group has one climate programme that includes heat-pump upgrades, staff travel changes, flood barriers at a warehouse, and a budget split across the two workstreams. The project team has draft dates for design, procurement, and rollout, but the board paper is still being refined.
A business has already finished a fleet efficiency project and can show the fuel savings achieved so far. It also has a separate electrification plan that is approved but not yet started, with an estimate of future emissions savings.
A company has a climate adaptation package for a coastal site: drainage upgrades are underway, emergency procedures are being updated, and a second phase is planned for next year. The finance team wants to show only the first phase because the second phase is not yet funded.
A preparer is drafting the note and has a long list of projects: solar panels, building insulation, supplier engagement, flood-proofing, and a resilience review. Some items reduce emissions, some reduce weather risk, and one item supports both. The team is unsure whether to present one combined list or separate the items by purpose.

FAQ
Fragen, die diese Seite beantwortet
Use the page’s datapoint list as your starting checklist: mitigation measures, adaptation measures, climate spend, delivery timing, emissions reduction method, delivered emissions cut and expected emissions cut. The page also gives a step-by-step preparation section to help you turn those inputs into a draft.
Work through the preparation steps in order so you can move from raw inputs to a disclosure draft without missing the key datapoints. The page is designed as a practitioner guide, so it is meant to help you organise the work rather than act as an official source.
The page is set up for practitioners to assign ownership around the datapoints and evidence needed for the disclosure. Use it to decide which team owns each input, then make sure the owner can explain the source and timing of the data.
The page includes an evidence pack with five items to support assurance readiness, alongside six assurance claims to verify. Use those sections to build a file that links each claim to the relevant source documents and supporting records.
The page gives six claim/risk/evidence checks so you can test whether the disclosure is supported and where the weak points are. Use them to spot gaps early and make sure the evidence pack matches what the draft says.
The page lists common reporting gaps and mistakes so you can compare your draft against typical problem areas. Use that list as a final quality check before sign-off, especially where the narrative and the numbers need to line up.
The page’s draft-output section gives visualisation ideas, narrative starters and a content-index line to help you shape the final text. Start with the datapoints, then use the suggested structure to build a clear draft that matches the evidence you have.
Yes, the page includes synthetic illustrative example disclosures, including a quantitative table, to show how the disclosure can be presented. Treat it as a formatting and drafting aid only, and make sure your own figures stay internally consistent.
The page flags climate spend and delivery timing as datapoints to prepare, so they should be collected and explained as part of the disclosure build. Use the preparation section and evidence pack to make sure those figures are traceable and supported.
The Download Centre includes a Prep & Assurance workbook in .xlsx format to help you organise the disclosure work. Use it alongside the page content to track datapoints, evidence and assurance checks in one place.
The Download Centre also provides a printable Library Card in .pdf format. It is there as a practical companion to the page content, so you can keep the key preparation and assurance points to hand while drafting or reviewing.
