TCFD & Climate Risk: How Solar Supports Climate Disclosures
Reducing Risk and Strengthening Climate Reporting
The Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) is a global initiative promoting transparency around climate-related financial risks and opportunities. For many UK businesses, TCFD-aligned reporting is now required or strongly encouraged, particularly for large companies, listed businesses, and the financial sector.
Solar PV installations offer a tangible, measurable action that demonstrates your business is proactively managing climate risk—both in terms of operational resilience and emissions reduction.
What Is TCFD?
The TCFD framework requires organisations to disclose how they:
- Govern climate-related risks
- Assess and manage risks
- Strategise for climate resilience
- Measure and track climate-related metrics and targets
In the UK, TCFD reporting is mandatory for large listed and private companies, and is quickly becoming a best practice standard across many sectors.
How Solar Supports TCFD Alignment
Transition Risk Mitigation
By generating renewable energy on-site, solar PV reduces exposure to carbon pricing, energy market volatility, and future regulatory tightening.
Physical Risk Resilience
Solar improves energy independence and supply security, particularly relevant in areas facing grid vulnerabilities.
Metrics & Targets
Solar installations contribute clear, measurable data for Scope 2 emissions reductions—essential for reporting progress on climate targets.
Proactive Governance
Partnering with Shawton demonstrates proactive leadership and strengthens your climate governance framework.
