Case Study: a leading consumer goods company improves TCFD climate risk reporting with S&P Global Trucost

Aligning a Consumer Goods Company with the TCFD Sustainability Recommendations

A leading consumer goods company worked with S&P Global’s Trucost team to better understand and disclose climate-related risks in line with TCFD recommendations. The sustainability team wanted to assess both transition and physical climate risks across its global manufacturing footprint and improve internal understanding of how climate change could affect the business.

S&P Global’s Trucost provided corporate carbon pricing and physical risk analytics to evaluate exposure to carbon regulation, operating cost and margin impacts, and hazards such as floods, droughts, hurricanes, wildfires, and sea level rise. The results were delivered in a summary report to support TCFD-aligned reporting, risk management, and resilience planning, helping the company identify vulnerable locations, engage internal stakeholders, and prioritize low-carbon innovation, though no specific numeric impact was disclosed.
