IFRS S2: Climate-related Disclosures

Objet de l’information
This disclosure asks an organisation to explain how its climate-related targets are performing over time, and what the trend looks like. In practice, that means showing whether progress is moving in the intended direction, where it is improving or slipping, and giving enough context for a reader to understand the pattern rather than just seeing a single year’s result.
The practical focus is on the scope and consistency of what is being tracked. An organisation should make clear whether the reported performance covers all relevant operations, entities or activities, or only selected sites, business units or flagship locations. The aim is to help users judge how representative the trend is and whether the target performance reflects the organisation as a whole.

Préparation
Informations clés à préparer
| Champ à préparer | Ce qu’il faut recueillir | Indice de preuve | Responsable |
|---|---|---|---|
| Current versus target | Capture the latest measured result alongside the intended target so the reader can see how far the reported item sits from plan. | Use the source report or dashboard that shows the current figure and the agreed target in the same period. | Performance management / reporting |
| Direction of progress | Capture whether the reported item is moving in the intended direction over time, using the same basis for each point in the sequence. | Use a time-series extract, management pack or tracker that shows the measure across successive periods. | Performance management / reporting |
| Change over time | Capture how the measure has shifted across the relevant periods so the pattern can be seen clearly and consistently. | Use a trend chart, ledger extract or KPI history that keeps the definition unchanged across the periods shown. | Performance management / reporting |
| Reason for gap | Capture the specific cause of any difference between the reported result and the expected level, with enough detail to explain the gap. | Use the variance note, issue log or management commentary that records the agreed explanation for the shortfall or overshoot. | Performance management / reporting |
Comment le préparer
Demander les données
Request the target tracking pack from Finance
Traduisez l’information en une question métier interne, puis adaptez-la au vocabulaire de votre organisation.
How are the agreed targets tracking against actual results, what is the direction of travel, and what explains any gap or change?
Use your organisation’s own performance language first, then map it to the disclosure. For example, if your team talks about KPIs, scorecards, business plans, or management reporting, use those terms in the request and only translate them later for the sustainability report. Keep the ask practical and evidence-led; check the source material before sign-off.
Demande faible
Please provide the disclosure wording for target performance and trends.
Pourquoi elle échoue : This asks for report language rather than the underlying management evidence. It does not say which internal pack, period, comparison basis, or commentary is needed, so the owner cannot tell what to pull or how to frame the data.
Meilleure demande
Please send the latest management pack for [business area] showing actuals against the approved target or plan for [period], plus the trend over time and the main reasons for any variance. Include the source system, version of the target used, and any notes the team already uses internally.
Modèle d’e-mail formel
Subject: Request for target tracking data and commentary Hi [Name], Could you please send over the latest target tracking pack for [business area / metric family] for [reporting period]? We need a clear view of: - the latest actual result against the agreed target or plan; - the direction of travel over the period; - any trend notes that help explain whether performance is improving, flat, or weakening; and - the main reasons for any gap between actual and target. Please include the source file or system, the version of the target or plan used, the period covered, and any internal notes that explain the movement.

Note méthodologique
Explain what was measured, how the target or reference point was set, which periods are included, and any assumptions or estimation methods used to prepare the figures.
Note de contexte
Set out what the numbers indicate about delivery against the intended level, including whether performance is improving, holding steady or moving away from plan.
Déclaration sur les variations
Describe the main operational, market or timing factors that caused the reported result to differ from the intended level, and note whether those factors are temporary or likely to continue.

Préparation à l’assurance
Pour chaque affirmation, vérifiez les preuves
| Affirmation | Risque | Preuves à vérifier |
|---|---|---|
| We prepared the coverage figure from the underlying working papers and reconciled it to the source records before drafting the disclosure. | The reported coverage may not tie back to the population actually reviewed, or exclusions may have been applied without a clear basis. | Population listing, reconciliation workbook, inclusion/exclusion log, and sign-off showing the final figure agrees to source records. |
| We used the same cut-off date and scope basis across the related figures so the comparison is internally consistent. | Different dates, entities, or boundaries may have been mixed, making the comparison misleading. | Scope memo, reporting timetable, boundary decisions, and evidence that the same reporting period and entity set were used throughout. |
| We checked the underlying data for obvious gaps, duplicates, and unusual movements before publication. | Errors in the source data may have flowed into the published figure without being detected. | Data quality checks, exception logs, query resolution notes, and evidence of follow-up on outliers or missing entries. |
| We kept support for the explanation of movement against the target, including the working assumptions used to describe the change. | The explanation may be unsupported, overly general, or not aligned to the numbers shown. | Variance analysis, management commentary drafts, calculation sheets, and documents showing the assumptions behind the explanation. |
| We retained the evidence used to describe the direction of travel over time, including the trend review and the basis for the narrative. | The trend statement may be selective, incomplete, or not backed by the underlying time-series data. | Multi-period dataset, trend analysis paper, charts or tables used in drafting, and review notes showing how the narrative was derived. |

Synthétiques, rédigés par LRA — ils ne proviennent ni d’un rapport d’entreprise ni du texte d’une norme.
We compare our current-year outcome with the level we set at the start of the year, and the gap is explained by slower-than-planned efficiency gains in two plants.
- Our target was 120 units of output per unit of energy; we achieved 114, which is 95% of plan.
- The line of travel is improving: 108 in the prior year, 111 at mid-year, and 114 at year-end.
- Against the target, we are 6 units short; the shortfall narrowed from 12 units at mid-year, showing steady catch-up.
- The difference is mainly due to delayed equipment upgrades and a longer maintenance shutdown than expected.
This example shows how to present the current result against the planned level, describe the direction of movement over time, and explain why the outcome differs from plan, using simple figures that stay internally consistent.
We set a year-end goal for reducing food waste, and our reported result sits close to that aim, with the remaining gap linked to store roll-out timing.
- The plan was to cut waste to 8.0 tonnes per £1m sales; we finished at 8.6, equal to 93% of the target level.
- The pattern has moved in the right direction: 9.8 last year, 9.1 at the half-year point, and 8.6 at year-end.
- The gap to plan is 0.6 tonnes per £1m sales, smaller than the 1.1 gap seen at mid-year.
- The main reason for the miss is that three stores joined the new process later than scheduled, so the full benefit arrived after year-end.
This example illustrates a plain-language comparison with the planned figure, a short trend view, and a brief explanation of the variance, all written as a synthetic disclosure.

Scénarios à travailler
A group has a 2030 emissions target and has reported this year’s result as 18% below the baseline, compared with 12% below baseline last year. The draft note also says the gap to target has narrowed, but it does not explain why.
A preparer has two years of data showing steady improvement in energy intensity, but the latest quarter is worse than the prior quarter because a new site came online. Management wants to describe the latest quarter only, because it looks cleaner than the full-year pattern.
A company has a water-reduction target and the actual result is slightly ahead of plan. The team has prepared a chart, but the written commentary only says the target is being monitored and gives no view on whether progress is accelerating, slowing, or flat.
A preparer is drafting the section on a methane target. The numbers show the organisation is 5% behind plan this year, but the team has not agreed whether the cause was operational disruption, a change in measurement, or both, and the draft leaves the shortfall unexplained.

FAQ
Questions auxquelles cette page répond
The page says to prepare four core datapoints: current versus target, direction of progress, change over time, and the reason for any gap. Use those as the starting checklist before you draft anything.
Use it as a working sequence rather than a reference note: first identify the datapoints, then gather the supporting evidence, and then turn that into a draft. The page is designed to help you move from raw information to a disclosure-ready output.
The page includes an evidence pack with five items to support assurance readiness. Build your pack around the disclosure data, the underlying source material, and anything that shows how the figures and narrative were prepared and checked.
The page provides five claim/risk/evidence checks to help you test the disclosure before assurance. Use them to confirm that the numbers, the explanation of movement, and the supporting documents line up.
The page lists common gaps and mistakes so you can spot weak points before finalising the disclosure. In practice, use that list as a pre-submission review against your data, narrative, and evidence pack.
The draft-output section gives you visualisation ideas, narrative starters, and a content-index line. That makes it easier to convert the prepared datapoints into a first draft without starting from a blank page.
The example is explicitly synthetic and is there to show how a disclosure might look in practice, including a quantitative table where relevant. You should use it as a formatting and drafting aid, not as a template to copy without adapting it to your own data.
The Download Centre includes a Prep & Assurance workbook in .xlsx format. Use it to organise the preparation steps, track the evidence you need, and support assurance readiness before you draft the disclosure.
The Download Centre also includes a printable Library Card in .pdf format. It is a practical companion for keeping the disclosure points, evidence needs, and preparation steps in one place while you work.
Yes. The page links to real published reports at the pages where the topic is disclosed, so you can see how others have presented similar information in practice.
The page notes ESRS E1 (Climate Change) as the closest correspondence. That means the same underlying data may be reusable across both, but you still need to check the specific reporting needs for each framework.
