What frameworks does the ESG Disclosure Gap Analyzer cover?

The analyzer assesses companies against three frameworks: TCFD (Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures, 11 recommendations), ISSB/IFRS S2 (International Sustainability Standards Board climate disclosures), and NZ XRB Climate Standards (NZ CS 1-4, mandatory for Climate Reporting Entities).

What are Climate Reporting Entities in New Zealand?

Climate Reporting Entities are NZ organisations required to make climate-related disclosures under the Financial Sector (Climate-related Disclosures and Other Matters) Amendment Act 2021. This includes large listed issuers (market cap above $1B), registered banks, licensed insurers, and managers of registered investment schemes above asset thresholds.

How are the gap scores calculated?

Each requirement is scored as Met (100%), Partial (50%), or Gap (0%) based on available NZXplorer data. Framework scores are the weighted average. The overall score weights NZ CS at 40% (regulatory), TCFD at 30%, and ISSB at 30%. This is an indicative assessment, not a formal compliance audit.

Emissions TCFD SBTi Net Zero

Framework Methodology

TCFD (30% weight)

11 recommendations from the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures. 4 pillars: Governance (2), Strategy (3), Risk Management (3), Metrics & Targets (3). The most widely adopted voluntary framework globally.

ISSB / IFRS S2 (30% weight)

Climate-related disclosures per IFRS S2 (2023). Covers governance (S2.6-7), strategy (S2.10-14), risk management (S2.15-17), and metrics & targets (S2.21-24). Mandatory in many jurisdictions from 2025+.

NZ XRB CS 1-4 (40% weight)

23 requirements from New Zealand's External Reporting Board Climate Standards. Mandatory for Climate Reporting Entities since FY2023. Aligned with TCFD and ISSB. Higher weight reflects regulatory obligation.

Requirements scored as Met (100%), Partial (50%), or Gap (0%). Framework scores are weighted averages of requirement scores. Overall score: NZ CS 40% + TCFD 30% + ISSB 30%. Assessment based on NZXplorer structured data — not a formal compliance audit.
