21 KPMG reviewed reports to see how many companies disclose targets to cut their carbon emissions. Analysts also checked to see if companies linked their targets to any external climate goals such as The Paris Agreement 2ºC goal KPMG Advisory Ltd., Ltd., a a Hungarian limited limited liability liability company company and a member and a member firm of the firm KPMG of the network KPMG of network independent of independent member firms member affiliated firms with affiliated KPMG International with KPMG Cooperative International ( KPMG Cooperative International ), ( KPMG a Swiss International ), entity. a Swiss entity. 21

24 KPMG analysts studied companies annual financial reports to understand how many acknowledge that climate change poses a financial risk to their business. 24

25 Only 28 percent of N100 companies currently acknowledge the financial risk of climate change in their annual reports. Among the world s 250 largest companies (G250), a higher 48 percent acknowledge the risk.

26 Of those companies that do acknowledge climate change as a financial risk in their financial reporting, a relatively high proportion provide some narrative description of the potential impacts. Very few, however, are currently quantifying the potential impact of those risks.
