MOL To Join Consortium Aiming At Effective Disclosure Of Climate-Related Risks

Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. (MOL) announced that it will participate in the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) Consortium (Note 1), which was established to provide a forum for discussions among corporations and financial institutions that agree with “TCFD recommendations” (Note 2).

This aims to ensure that companies factor in climate change-related risks and opportunities when they disclose their strategies to investors.

In 2018, backed by the Ministry of the Environment of Japan, MOL analyzed scenarios based on TCFD recommendation. A part of this analysis is introduced in the “Practical Guide for scenario analysis to integrate climate-related risk and opportunities into its own management strategies by utilizing TCFD recommendation,” which was released in March.

Four core elements—governance, strategy, risk management, and metrics and targets—are recommended in the report. One item, “Strategy,” includes scenario analysis, which analyzes opportunities and risks that climate changes have the impact on corporations.

(Note 2) TCFD Consortium

The TCFD Consortium organized and promoted by Kunio Ito, Adjunct Professor, Graduate School of Commerce and Management, Hitotsubashi University and Specially Appointed Professor, Chuo Graduate School of Strategic Management, Hiroaki Nakanishi, Chairman of Keidanren (Japan Business Federation), Makoto Takashima, Chairman of the Japanese Bankers Association, Takehiko Kakiuchi, President and CEO of Mitsubishi Corporation, and Shuzo Sumi, Chairman of Tokio Marine Holdings, Inc.
