This was an increase from 2020, when this number was 56%.\n\nAnalysts from KPMG in countries worldwide examined online reports that are publicly available. The sources were reports published between 1 July 2021 and 30 June 2022. If a company did not report during this period, reporting from 2020 was reviewed.\n\nThe largest 250 companies sample comprises the top 250 companies from the Fortune Global 500 ranking for 2021. According to KPMG, large global companies are typically leaders in corporate responsibility reporting and their behavior often predicts trends that are subsequently adopted more widely.\n\nAnother source, the Carbon Disclosure Project[2] had 366 of the largest 500 companies report to them in 2018, of which 215 reported on the financial risks of climate change (59%).\n\n[1]  [The KPMG Survey of Sustainability Reporting 2022 (page 9)](https:\u002F\u002Fassets.kpmg.com\u002Fcontent\u002Fdam\u002Fkpmg\u002Fse\u002Fpdf\u002Fkomm\u002F2022\u002FGlobal-Survey-of-Sustainability-Reporting-2022.pdf)  \n[2]  [Climate Change Report 2019 - Carbon Disclosure Project](https:\u002F\u002F6fefcbb86e61af1b2fc4-c70d8ead6ced550b4d987d7c03fcdd1d.ssl.cf3.rackcdn.com\u002Fcms\u002Freports\u002Fdocuments\u002F000\u002F004\u002F588\u002Foriginal\u002FCDP_Climate_Change_report_2019.pdf?1562321876)  ","It's common to believe that companies in general are denying the risks of climate change, but a majority of big companies have no problem realizing that climate change may become a real threat to their business. The fact that they mention it in their reports doesn't mean they have changed anything in practice, but it still shows how widespread the awareness has become.\n\n### Why is it a problem that people are wrong about this?\nCommercial companies spend lots of resources trying to predict future trends, to discover new business opportunities before competitors and to avoid surprises that can put them out of business. The fact that a majority of them include climate change as a real risk to consider should be enough for even the biggest skeptic to sit up and take notice. It is also a clear sign that the effects climate change is going to have are not only in the very distant future.\n\n### Can I trust this data?\nYes, you can. This data comes from the KPMG survey of Sustainability Reporting from 2020. They analyzed the annual reports of the largest 250 companies by revenue and found that the majority included climate change. \n\nAnother source, the Carbon Disclosure Project, got similar results: in 2018, 59% of the largest 500 companies reported on the financial risks of climate change. \n","Not business as usual"]
