The impact of climate change on companies will be considered throughout the whole thesis. We will go through different aspects such as how climate change can be shifted from risks to opportunities as well as how far stakeholders and companies use metrics and targets to tackle global warming. An in-depth explanation of voluntary IFRS standards that are mainly concentrated on climate change will be followed. Then, listed Italian companies will be selected based on various criteria and depending in which industries they are categorised, we will examine if these companies are at high risks or not.

L'impatto del cambiamento climatico sulle aziende sarà considerato durante l'intera tesi. Esamineremo diversi aspetti come il modo in cui il cambiamento climatico può essere spostato dai rischi alle opportunità e fino a che punto le parti interessate e le aziende utilizzano metriche e obiettivi per affrontare il riscaldamento globale. Seguirà una spiegazione approfondita degli standard IFRS volontari che si concentrano principalmente sui cambiamenti climatici. Quindi le aziende italiane verranno selezionate in base a vari criteri ea seconda dei settori in cui sono classificate, si esaminerà se queste aziende sono ad alto rischio o meno. Quindi, l'obiettivo di questa tesi è capire e analizzare se le aziende italiane ad alto rischio legato al clima abbiano applicato tempestivamente gli standard IFRS volontari relativi al clima nei loro bilanci 2019. Per concludere, identificheremo se ci sono delle carenze che potrebbe essere causato dalla mancata integrazione di questi standard IFRS volontari.

Abstract
The impact of climate change on companies will be considered throughout the whole thesis. We will go through different aspects such as how climate change can be shifted from risks to opportunities as well as how far stakeholders and companies use metrics and targets to tackle global warming. An in-depth explanation of voluntary IFRS standards that are mainly concentrated on climate change will be followed. Then, listed Italian companies will be selected based on various criteria and depending in which industries they are categorised, we will examine if these companies are at high risks or not. Hence, the objective of this thesis is to understand and analyse whether or not listed Italian companies which are at high climate related risks have promptly applied the voluntary climate related IFRS standards in their financial statements 2019. To conclude, we will identify if there are any deficiencies which could be caused by not integrating these voluntary IFRS standards.È consentito all'utente scaricare e condividere i documenti disponibili a testo pieno in UNITESI UNIPV nel rispetto della licenza Creative Commons del tipo CC BY NC ND.
