Stephanie Leaist, managing director, head of sustainable investing, at the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPPIB) is joining a global task force charged with improving companies’ climate-related disclosures.

The Financial Stability Board (FSB) announced Friday that nine new members have been added to its Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), which is developing voluntary standards for climate-related financial disclosures. The aim is to improve the consistency of comparability of corporate disclosure in this area for lenders, insurers, investors and others.

“The task force is considering the physical and non-physical risks associated with climate change and what constitutes effective corporate financial disclosures in this area,” the FSB says in a statement, adding that “access to better quality information on climate-related financial risks will allow market participants to understand and manage these risks better.”

Among the nine new members, Leaist is joined by Bruno Bertocci, head of sustainable investors at UBS; Richard Cantor, Moody’s Investors Service’s chief risk officer; Eric Dugelay, global leader, sustainability services at Deloitte; and several other representatives from the major accounting firms, issuers, and investment firms.

The industry-led task force, which is being chaired by Michael Bloomberg, is adding members to “augment the mix of skills” on the task force as it steps up its work “to develop a set of recommendations for consistent, comparable, reliable, clear and efficient climate-related financial disclosures,” the FSB says.

The new members of the group took part in a meeting in of the task force in Washington D.C. earlier this month, and future meetings are planned for New York in July, Paris in September, and London in November. Some of these meetings may include public sessions, the FSB adds.

The task force aims to present a final report for consultation by the end of the year.
