The second edition of the Swiss Climate Reporting Forum explores how Swiss companies can build the capabilities they will require in the short term to effectively manage these pressing issues, and leverage them in the medium-to-long-term for the advantage of their stakeholders.
Event participants will share both knowledge and insights in plenary sessions and workshops covering all pillars of the TCFD Recommendations. Topics will be clustered around themes, including:
– Climate reporting, technology, and data
– Climate risk strategy: Identification, integration, management, and mitigation
– The role of governance and culture
By the end of the event, participants will take with them real cases from peers and experts – and what steps they took to overcome the challenges. This cross-industry transfer of knowledge will be vital for companies to efficiently build their capabilities to meet the reporting requirements and gain a lasting advantage in the marketplace.
