FFC Calls For Climate Change Reporting Framework

October 9, 2014

FFC has joined other investors in calling on corporations to join the Climate Change Reporting Framework. The Framework is an initiative created by the Climate Disclosure Standards Board which provides a standardized, usable format for corporations to disclose climate-related risk to their investors. Corporations are increasingly releasing climate risk data to their investors, but the content and availability of this data varies widely. By joining the Climate Change Reporting Framework, corporations will publish this information to investors in mainstream corporate reports. FFC believes that climate risk information is critical to assessing a company’s long term sustainability. With this new reporting framework, investors will be able to delve more fully into the climate implications of the companies in their investment portfolio. FFC believes long term corporate sustainability is an important component for long term shareholder value. To read the statement on fiduciary duty and climate change disclosure click here
