Bank of America published its most recent Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures report, which includes enhancements in line with guidance published by the Financial Stability Board’s TCFD in 2021 as well as additional updates.

Bank of America’s TCFD report outlines how the company is working to realize its enterprise climate strategy, including:

• How climate change is managed within the company;
• The goals and priorities it set;
• Actions taken and resources allocated to achieve these goals;
• Its exposure to and management of climate-related risks;
• Metrics and targets it tracks to monitor progress.

The TCFD framework helps the company articulate to stakeholders – including clients, employees, investors and others – how Bank of America manages and mitigates climate-related risks, and uses its financial and intellectual capital to help accelerate the transition to a low-carbon, sustainable global economy.
