"Hannon Armstrong is proud to be
the first U.S.-based, public company to commit to the CDSB-led
initiative on TCFD implementation, the principles of which have
long been embedded in our corporate DNA. In a world
increasingly defined by carbon, we believe we will achieve better
risk-adjusted returns investing on the right side of the climate
change line," said Jeffrey Eckel,
President & CEO. "To that end, we are committed to formalizing
our governance framework by implementing the TCFD recommendations
and further, to engage with other corporates to sharpen their views
on how they can drive carbon action."
The Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures, an
international consortium of both users and preparers of disclosures
covering a broad range of economic sectors and financial markets,
has developed voluntary climate related financial disclosures
guidelines intended to be useful to investors, lenders, and
insurance underwriters. The Task Force structured its
recommendations around four thematic areas that represent core
elements of how organizations operate: governance, strategy, risk
management, and metrics and targets. Hannon Armstrong is also a member of the Ceres
Investor Network on Climate Risk and Opportunity.
