Danske Bank has signed Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures

As part of facilitating the transition to a low carbon economy, Danske Bank is committed to supporting the recommendations of Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD).

Climate change is of increasing importance to society at large, our customers as well as the financial sector. Since the Paris Agreement in 2015, more than 200 countries have been committed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and accelerate the transition to a low carbon economy.

The commitment to move away from fossil fuels, coupled with innovation and declining costs of renewable energy also means new climate related risks as well as new business opportunities for several industries going forward.

The climate agenda is extremely important, and the financial sector has a significant role to play to support the transition towards a zero carbon economy. By supporting the TCFD recommendations we are committing to integrate climate considerations into our governance, strategy, risk management, metrics as well as our external reporting.
