Demystifying TCFD Disclosures: An AI-Powered Framework for Enhanced Transparency and Trust
Demystifying TCFD Disclosures: An AI-Powered Framework for Enhanced Transparency and Trust
Our framework converts opaque LLM reasoning into a transparent and structured assessment process, providing actionable comparative intelligence for regulators, investors, and reporting companies.
Quantified Impact on Climate Reporting
Our AI-powered framework delivers unprecedented transparency and efficiency, enabling stakeholders to make data-driven decisions and fostering trust in climate disclosures.
Deep Analysis & Enterprise Applications
Select a topic to dive deeper, then explore the specific findings from the research, rebuilt as interactive, enterprise-focused modules.
Systematic Knowledge Extraction
We introduce a methodology using a RAG architecture to query a LLM, compelling it to deconstruct the 11 TCFD recommendations into granular, explicit assessment factors based on real-world disclosure data. This ensures the LLM acts as a knowledge source, not a black-box scorer.
Interpretable 'Open Box' Framework
We consolidate the extracted factors into a human-readable 'knowledge table,' which then serves as the foundation for training an intrinsically interpretable machine learning model. This process translates the LLM's complex reasoning into a transparent, factor-based evaluation system, moving decisively beyond the black box paradigm.
Data-Driven Insights
By applying our framework to 335 reports from 74 of the world's largest banking institutions (2020-2024), we quantify the state and trajectory of global TCFD reporting. Our analysis uncovers stark regional divergences, with European and Canadian institutions demonstrating mature, high-quality disclosures, while the US exhibits a more volatile improvement trend.
Our AI-Powered Framework Workflow
European Union maintains its position as a leader in disclosure quality, demonstrating consistently high performance, underpinned by proactive regulatory environment.
Framework Advantages vs. Traditional Methods
Our 'open-box' AI framework offers significant advantages over traditional, opaque assessment approaches.

Case Study: Identifying Disclosure Gaps for a Major Bank
Applying our framework to Citigroup's 2024 disclosures, we observed alignment on 12 out of 14 factors for 'Reduction Targets' recommendation. However, it explicitly flagged failures in 'Tracking and reporting growth in climate-aligned metrics' and 'Quantitative sustainable finance targets with performance tracking'. This granular insight allows the bank to pinpoint exact areas needing improvement, moving beyond a simple pass/fail score to provide truly actionable feedback.
