Climate change
Sustainability reporting
Since 2014, we have published a Sustainability Report that highlights our ESG efforts and achievements. We believe it is crucial to act as a sustainability enabler as we are committed to creating a sustainable future.
In this context, we have identified, and prioritised material topics to ensure that the effects of climate change, as well as corporate social and governance responsibilities, are routinely considered in our business and investment decisions.
Further, we have set time-bound interim and end-state targets, based on the reporting principles of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and the Taskforce on Climate‑related Financial Disclosures (TCFD).
ACWA Power is committed to reducing the greenhouse gas (GHG) emission intensity of our electricity generation by 50% by 2030 as compared to 2020, and to achieving, at overall portfolio level, net zero by 2050.
Climate-Related Financial Disclosure
TCFD alignment
We seek to provide investors and other stakeholders with information enabling them to assess the adequacy of our approach to climate change and our ability to manage the associated risks and opportunities.
This is the first year we have reported using the recommendations of the Financial Stability Board Taskforce on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and looking forward to perfect it along the way.

Risk Identification
In 2022, we conducted a qualitative exercise to identify risk and opportunity that might arise over the next 30 years based on the current policy environment scenario.
This exercise leveraged all the internal and external experience and knowledge including the internal experts, IPCC reports and peers.
