Toronto, ON – June 25, 2020 – Amp, a global renewable energy infrastructure platform company, today announced it has become a supporter of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures and its Recommendations.

The Task Force, which is chaired by Michael R. Bloomberg, provides recommendations to enable markets to address the financial impact of climate change by increasing transparency on climate-related risks and opportunities to promote more informed financial decision-making.

By publicly declaring its support for the TCFD and its recommendations, Amp is demonstrating that it is taking action to back a more resilient financial system through climate-related disclosure. Amp will join more than 1,300 organizations already supporting the TCFD, representing a market capitalization of over $12 trillion.

This announcement swiftly follows the formation of Amp’s Women’s Network and the news that they have recently become a signatory of the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI), reinforcing Amp’s commitment to strengthen its sustainability track and enhance its ESG integration practices.
