Kern der Offenlegung

This disclosure asks an organisation to explain the processes and policies it uses to identify, assess and manage climate-related risks. In practice, the report should show how climate risk is built into decision-making, what internal rules or procedures are in place, and who is responsible for applying them. The emphasis is on describing the organisation’s approach clearly, rather than listing isolated actions.

The practical focus is usually on whether these processes and policies apply across the whole organisation, including relevant operations, business units and locations, rather than only at a few flagship sites. A useful explanation would make clear the scope of coverage, any differences between parts of the business, and how consistently the approach is applied in day-to-day management.

Dieses LRA-Lehrmaterial unterstützt die Erstellung der Offenlegung. Für die genauen Anforderungen ziehen Sie stets die offizielle IFRS-Quelle heran.

So bereiten Sie es vor

Set the boundary first: decide which parts of the business, value chain, or reporting period are in scope for this disclosure, and make that choice clear in your working papers.
Define the terms you will use for the report: explain what counts as a relevant source of information, what sits inside the scope, and how you will treat any screening, ranking, or scenario-based inputs used to identify risks.
Gather the support behind each point: keep the underlying records that show the information came from the chosen sources, the monitoring rhythm used, and the policies or procedures that guide the process.
Build the disclosure from those records: prepare the figures or narrative so it reflects the way risks were identified, the criteria or cut-offs applied, and the logic used to decide what was prioritised.
Record anything that changed or was left out: note differences from the previous year, explain exclusions, and describe any shifts in sources, scope, methods, or assumptions so the reader can follow the trail.
Check the draft against the official source before sign-off: confirm the wording, scope, and evidence line up with the standard and that nothing material has been missed or overstated.

Daten anfordern

Request the climate-risk process evidence from Risk

Übersetzen Sie die Offenlegung in eine interne Geschäftsfrage — und passen Sie diese dann an die Sprache Ihrer Organisation an.

How do we currently identify, assess, prioritise, monitor, and update climate-related risks, and what changed since last year?

Use your organisation’s own names for risk frameworks, control cycles, review forums, and scenario work first; then map them to the disclosure fields below. Keep the ask in business language that your risk team already uses, and check the official source before sign-off.

Schwache Anfrage

Please provide the climate-risk policies and processes disclosure evidence.

Warum sie scheitert: This uses framework language only, so the owner may not know which internal documents, systems, or review cycles to pull. It also does not specify scope, period, source, or the exact business questions needed to assemble the evidence.

Bessere Anfrage

Please send the latest pack your team uses to identify, rank, and review climate-related risks for [reporting period], including the documents, register extracts, committee papers, and scenario notes that show the scope covered, review cadence, ranking logic, thresholds or triggers, and what changed since last year.

Vorlage für eine formelle E-Mail
Subject: Request for climate-risk process evidence for [reporting period]

Hi [name],

Could you please share the current evidence pack for how [business / group / function] identifies, reviews, and updates climate-related risks for [reporting period]?

Please include, in your team’s own terms:
- the main process or policy documents used;
- the data inputs and scope covered;
- how often the review happens;
- the logic used to rank or filter risks;
- any thresholds, triggers, or escalation points;
- how scenario work is used when spotting risks; and
- what changed compared with the prior year.

If the information sits across a register, slide deck, procedure, or committee paper, that is fine — please send the source files or links and note where each item can be found.

A possible LRA training template is attached below for reference only; please adapt this to your organisation and check the official source before sign-off.

Prüfen Sie zu jeder Aussage die Nachweise

Aussage Risiko Zu prüfende Nachweise
We explained what changed in our climate-risk process since last year, and we kept the wording focused so it did not repeat other parts of the report.The assurer may ask whether the year-on-year change is real, complete, and not just a restatement of earlier narrative.Prior-year and current-year drafts, tracked-change notes, internal change log, board or committee papers showing what was updated, and the final cross-reference map to avoid repetition.
We set out the information inputs we used, where they came from, and which parts of the business they covered.The assurer may probe whether the stated sources are complete, whether any sites, entities or activities were left out, and whether the scope matches the figure presented.Source register, data lineage or mapping document, scope list of operations included and excluded, system extracts, and sign-off from the owners of the underlying data.
We described how often the risk information is reviewed and updated, using the cadence we actually followed in preparation.The assurer may check whether the stated frequency matches practice and whether any ad hoc reviews or late updates were omitted.Review calendar, meeting minutes, workflow timestamps, update logs, and evidence of any interim checks before publication.
We set out the policies and working steps we used to find, assess, rank and keep track of climate-related risks.The assurer may test whether the process description is complete, consistent with internal practice, and supported by documented procedures rather than informal habit.Policy documents, process maps, risk methodology papers, control descriptions, committee packs, and evidence that the described steps were followed in the reporting cycle.
We explained how we decide which climate risks come ahead of other risk topics in our internal review.The assurer may ask whether the ranking approach is actually used, whether it is applied consistently, and whether the report makes clear how climate issues are weighed against other risks.Risk appetite or ranking framework, enterprise risk register, prioritisation criteria, committee papers showing comparative ranking, and examples of decisions made using that approach.
We described the factors we used to judge how serious a risk might be, including the signs we looked for and any cut-offs or scoring rules.The assurer may probe whether the assessment basis is defined, applied consistently, and supported by evidence rather than judgement alone.Assessment methodology, scoring matrix, threshold tables, qualitative factor list, worked examples, and review notes showing how the criteria were applied.

Vorzubereitendes Nachweispaket

Häufige Lücken in der Berichterstattung

The information is presented without a date or as-at point.
The scope or boundary of the statement is left undefined.
Key terms are used inconsistently across the report.
Material changes since the previous period are not disclosed.
Assertions are made without supporting detail or a source record.
Boilerplate is used that does not actually answer what is asked.

Häufige Lücken

Fehler, die Sie bei der Datenerhebung vermeiden sollten

Wrong ownerThe request goes to the wrong team, so the answer comes from a group that does not actually run the climate-risk process or keep the supporting records.
Framework language usedPeople ask for the information in reporting jargon instead of the organisation’s own terms, and the source team cannot map it back to the way they work.
Scope not pinned downThe collector does not state which business areas, entities or activities are in scope, so different teams send data for different populations.

Wo häufig eine Ermessensentscheidung nötig ist

How to handle a year of portfolio reshapingIf acquisitions, disposals or other boundary moves changed the business mix during the year, explain the cut-off date and whether you restated or left prior-period figures as reported.
Which country rule set to use where local practice differsWhere the same control or threshold is defined differently across jurisdictions, state the rule set you applied, why it was chosen, and whether any local variations were kept separate.
Where to draw the line for near-boundary activitiesFor activities, sites or teams that sit close to the reporting perimeter, set out the inclusion rule you used and disclose any borderline cases that were included or left out.

Veranschaulichende Beispiele

Synthetisch, von LRA verfasst — nicht aus einem Unternehmensbericht und kein Text aus einem Standard.

Illustrative (synthetic) example — Electricity utility

*Illustrative only: synthetic example.* We refreshed our climate-risk screening this year after adding two new grid-resilience data feeds, so the set of sites under review rose from 18 to 20 and the share of assets covered moved from 82% to 91%.
- Our checks draw on internal asset registers, outage logs and maintenance records, plus external weather and flood datasets; we review them monthly, with a deeper refresh each quarter.
- We rank issues by likely financial effect, safety exposure and service disruption, and we only escalate items that score 4 or 5 on our five-point scale or that affect more than 10% of a region’s load.
- For identifying risks, we test a 1.5°C orderly transition case and a 3°C physical-risk case; the first is used to spot policy and market shifts, while the second helps us flag assets with repeated flood or heat stress.

This example shows how a reporter can explain what changed since last year, where the information comes from, how often it is checked, how the process works, what gets priority, the trigger levels used, and how different future-path assumptions feed into risk spotting.

Illustrative (synthetic) example — Food manufacturing

*Illustrative only: synthetic example.* We widened our supplier and factory review this year, moving from 120 to 135 monitored locations and increasing coverage from 76% to 84% of our direct spend.
- The review uses procurement records, supplier questionnaires, incident reports and water-stress maps; we update the core dataset every month and re-run the full assessment twice a year.
- Our process gives first attention to sites with repeated permit breaches, high water use or exposure to heat-related downtime, and we escalate any location that has three or more incidents in 12 months or sits above our 70th-percentile water-risk score.
- To find emerging issues, we test a short-term disruption case and a longer-term scarcity case; the first highlights logistics and labour pressure, while the second helps us identify suppliers likely to face chronic water constraints.

This example demonstrates a narrative disclosure that covers year-on-year movement, the information base and boundary, review frequency, the way the assessment is run, how priorities are set, the thresholds that trigger escalation, and the use of scenario analysis in spotting risk.

Szenarien zum Durcharbeiten

A group updates its climate-risk playbook after a severe weather season. The risk team has new supplier data, a revised review timetable, and a changed way of ranking issues, but the draft note only says the process was refreshed.

FWhat should the preparer do so the disclosure is useful to readers comparing this year with last year?
Musterantwort anzeigen →

A finance team wants to describe climate-risk controls using only the central register, because that is the easiest source to pull from. However, the sustainability team also uses site-level logs, board papers and a supplier-screening tool, and those sources cover different parts of the business.

FHow should the preparer decide what to include about the information base and the part of the business covered?
Musterantwort anzeigen →

A company reviews climate-risk indicators every month, but only escalates them to senior leaders once a quarter unless a trigger is hit. The draft disclosure says the issue is monitored regularly, without saying how often or what happens between reviews.

FWhat level of detail should the preparer give about the review pattern?
Musterantwort anzeigen →

A risk committee uses a scoring model to decide which climate threats get attention first. The model gives extra weight to operational disruption and legal exposure, and anything above a set score goes into the top tier, but the draft only says the committee prioritises material matters.

FWhat should the preparer explain about the way climate risks are sorted and filtered?
