Three-quarters of companies don’t acknowledge climate risks.
"That is the stark conclusion of a new report from consultancy giant KPMG, which reveals that 72 percent of large and mid-cap companies worldwide do not acknowledge the financial risks of climate change in their annual financial reports."
[COMMENTARY] One reason for this is that companies don’t yet see the investor/analyst/regulatory demands for it. Also, companies don’t want to add to their potential liabilities by acknowledging possible associated costs that could hurt long-term profits, stock prices, and executive compensation from stock options!
