Corporate Governance
In 2019, the European Commission published Guidelines on non-financial reporting, providing for the disclosure of detailed climate-related data (2019|C 209|01) (European Commission Guidelines), which are expected to encourage enterprises to report in detail data on the impact of their business model on the climate.
The European Commission Guidelines are not legally binding yet, but their application is already recommended by the European Securities and Markets Authority. Additionally, the Financial Stability Board has set up the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) which, through its activities, incentivizes financial institutions and non-financial enterprises to disclose information on climate-related risks and opportunities. The PZU Group implements the European Commission guidelines on non-financial information, itemizing the reporting of climate-related data and recommendations for banks and insurance undertakings specified in Annex I and recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD).
