Summary
ClientEarth has issued a letter to the Global Public Policy Committee (GPPC) detailing the GPPC's stance on climate-related financial reporting. ClientEarth argues that most companies on the Climate Action 100+ (CA100+) focus list and their auditors fail to fully consider or explain climate-related matters in financial statements. While the GPPC maintains that its member networks (including the 'Big Four') comply with existing standards and that reporting has improved since 2020, ClientEarth disputes these claims and calls for greater transparency and reform of accounting and audit standards to better reflect material climate risks.
Key insights
- The GPPC maintains that audits performed by its member networks—Deloitte, KPMG, EY, PWC, BDO, and Grant Thornton—are of high quality and adhere to applicable audit standards and climate change guidance from the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB).
