Climate Risk & TCFD / ISSB S2-Aligned DisclosurePillar 3 — Risk Management

Process for Managing Climate Risks

Describe the organisation's processes for managing climate-related risks

Strategic context

What this element is — and why it matters

TCFD Risk Management Disclosure (b) requires organisations to describe how identified climate risks are MANAGED — accept, avoid, transfer, or reduce decisions; risk-treatment plans; monitoring; performance against treatment plans.

Process for Managing Climate Risks

Individual significance for organisations

RM-b is where TCFD discloses what the organisation DOES with identified risks. Investors look for evidence of substantive treatment rather than passive acceptance.

Contribution to Climate Risk & TCFD / ISSB S2-Aligned Disclosure

RM-b operationalises RM-a identification. It also feeds Metrics & Targets disclosures by providing the metrics that measure treatment effectiveness.

Key requirements

What compliant execution looks like

Risk treatment per ISO 31000 — accept / avoid / transfer / reduce
Treatment plans per material risk
Monitoring + reporting cadence
Performance against treatment plans
Implementation methodology

How we implement this element

A focused 6-step methodology calibrated to deliver process for managing climate risks as a working capability — not a documented compliance artefact.

Risk Treatment Framework

Per ISO 31000 — define accept / avoid / transfer / reduce options per risk; align with corporate risk appetite.

Treatment Plan per Material Risk

Per material climate risk, develop treatment plan with owner, target date, KPI, budget.

Hedging + Insurance Programmes

Identify hedging instruments (carbon offsets, weather derivatives), insurance coverage (catastrophe, transition); specify scope.

Adaptation Investments

Catalogue capital investments addressing climate risks — physical adaptation, technology substitution, supply chain diversification.

Monitoring + Reporting

Establish monitoring cadence; integrate with management committee reviews and board reporting.

Disclosure Authoring

Author RM-b per TCFD; align with IFRS S2 / CSRD ESRS.
