Welcome to the final part of our guide to the experiences of schemes that published Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) reports in 2022.

In part one, Governance is king, we outlined some of the key findings from TPR's review, along with more detail on the governance aspects of the reports.

In part two, The risky business of scenario analysis, we dove into the reports' often-complex strategy, scenario analysis and risk management sections.

In part three, we will discuss the metrics and targets section of the reports before concluding and setting out what we think schemes of all sizes should do next.

Metrics and targets

The requirements for this part of the report stated that schemes must choose three climate metrics (although this has since been increased to four). Popular metrics included measures of the scheme's carbon emissions, carbon footprint and data quality related to climate impact and risk for different types of emissions.
