Foco de la divulgación
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.

Traduzca la divulgación a una pregunta de negocio interna y adáptela después al lenguaje propio de su organización.
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.
Solicitud débil
Please provide the climate-risk policies and processes disclosure evidence.
Por qué falla: 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.
Solicitud mejor
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.

Preparación para el aseguramiento
Para cada afirmación, compruebe la evidencia
| Afirmación | Riesgos | Evidencia que comprobar |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |

Sintéticos, redactados por LRA: no proceden del informe de ninguna empresa ni del texto de ninguna norma.
*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 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.

Escenarios para trabajar
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.
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.
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.
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.

Preguntas frecuentes
Preguntas que responde esta página
Start with the plain-language explainer and the step-by-step ‘how to prepare’ section, then use the draft-output section to turn your data into a narrative and content-index line. The page is designed as practitioner guidance, so it helps you move from preparation to a first draft rather than treating it as a formal source.
The page says to prepare year-on-year changes, source systems and boundary, review frequency, relevant controls and rules, selection and ranking logic, risk cut-offs, and how scenario analysis is used. Use that list as your data request to owners so you can build the disclosure and the evidence pack together.
The page tells you to capture source systems and boundary as part of the preparation data points, so the practical step is to document where the data comes from and what is included before drafting. That makes it easier to explain the scope consistently and support assurance later.
The page does not assign roles, but it does point you to the data points and the step-by-step preparation process, which you can use to split ownership across ESG, HR, finance, operations, or data owners as relevant to your organisation. The key is to make sure each input has a named owner before you build the draft.
The page includes an evidence pack with five items for assurance readiness, so you should use that as the core folder for supporting documents. Pair it with the six assurance claims to verify so each claim has a clear link to a risk and evidence.
The page says there are six assurance claims to verify, each framed around claim, risk, and evidence. In practice, use them as a checklist to test whether your draft is supported and whether the evidence pack covers the main risks.
The page lists common reporting gaps and mistakes, so it is useful as a pre-submission check rather than a theory page. Review those gaps after drafting to catch missing boundary detail, weak methodology, or unsupported claims before assurance.
The Download Centre includes a Prep & Assurance workbook in .xlsx format, which is there to help you organise the preparation and assurance steps. Use it alongside the page’s data points, evidence pack, and draft-output section to move from raw inputs to a reviewable draft.
The page offers a printable Library Card in PDF format, which is useful if you want a quick reference during data collection, drafting, or assurance review. It sits alongside the workbook and the page content as a practical support tool.
Yes, but only as a synthetic illustration: the page includes example disclosures and a quantitative table to show how a draft might look. Treat it as a formatting and logic guide, not as a model to copy without replacing it with your own data and boundary.
The page says the closest ESRS correspondence is ESRS E1 (Climate Change), so you can use that as a pointer to where related data may already exist. The page does not say the requirements are identical, so treat it as a reuse opportunity for data and evidence, not a one-to-one mapping.
