Recap | TNFD Adoption: Expert Q&A
During the webinar, techUK members heard from Charlie Dixon, UK Market Engagement Lead - TNFD and Nature at the Green Finance Institute, as he explained how the framework was developed, its structure, how organisations are using it, and why it’s crucial for tech companies to take action now.
Members had the opportunity to engage with our speaker and ask questions on various topics, including regional adoption rates, the type of data required for TNFD disclosures, the interaction between TNFD and CSRD, examples of tech companies successfully integrating TNFD into their sustainability strategies, how tech solutions can support other sectors in delivering TNFD disclosures, and ways to get involved.
