Metrics and targets - Reporting climate-related financial disclosures
How to disclose the metrics and targets used to assess and manage relevant climate-related risks and opportunities in TCFD reporting.
Under the framework of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), metrics and targets disclosures should enable an understanding of any targets your business has set to help assess its progress in managing climate-related risks and opportunities. This should include how it intends to meet those targets and how it monitors and assesses progress over set timeframes.
| What TCFD recommends on metrics and targets | |
|---|---|
| Recommendation | Disclose the metrics and targets used to assess and manage relevant climate-related risks and opportunities where such information is material. |
| Key aspects | Disclose your metrics for assessing business climate-related risks and the opportunities aligned with strategy and risk management process. |
| Disclose Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions, and if appropriate, Scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and the related risks. | |
| Describe your targets for managing business climate-related risks and opportunities and how you measure performance against targets. | |
This guide deals with the impacts of climate change - you can find more information on how to reduce your GHG emissions, on how to become a net zero business, on how to adapt your business to climate change and steps your business can take to mitigate climate change.
Organisations should provide their Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions, and if appropriate, Scope 3 GHG emissions and the related risk in transitioning to a low-carbon economy. Businesses can access a reporting platform to report their scope 1 and 2 emissions by signing up to .

Targets - Suggested actions
Organisations should describe their key climate-related targets, such as those related to GHG emissions, water usage. Other targets may include revenue goals for products and services designed for a lower-carbon, resilient economy. Remember to include information on time frames for the target, the baseline year targets are measured against, and key performance indicators used to assess progress against targets.
