Asics claims to have become the world's first sporting goods manufacturer to support the task force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). The task force was established by the Financial Stability Board, an international body that monitors and assesses vulnerabilities affecting the global financial system, to drive effective and consistent disclosures on the financial impact of risks and opportunities related to climate change. More than 780 financial institutions, companies, governments and other bodies around the world have supported the TCFD's recommendations so far. Asics will disclose information on business risks and opportunities related to climate change in the areas of strategy, risk management and governance, based on TCFD's recommendations, the company said.
