Searching the Climate-related Disclosures Register
You can search the register to see copies of climate statements
Since 1 January 2024 some large FMC reporting entities in New Zealand have been identified as climate reporting entities (CREs). CREs are required to prepare climate statements and lodge them on the register.
You can view climate statements and notices of exemption that have been lodged on the register free of charge.

An overview
Climate statements contain information about the effects of climate change on a CREs business including, for scheme managers funds under their management. This disclosure regime will allow shareholders, investors and potential investors to be aware of the businesses’ exposure to climate change impacts and understand how these businesses are planning to mitigate them.
You can search the Climate-related Disclosures Register to see which entities are recorded as CREs and to view climate statements or exemption-related notices that they have lodged. You can also see which managed investment schemes a particular CRE must lodge climate statements for.
Whether an entity is classed as a CRE depends on whether it has met a certain financial threshold for the preceding 2 accounting periods.

Viewing exemption-related notices
In some cases, the Financial Markets Authority (FMA) may issue an exemption notice to a CRE. The CRE must upload a notice of that exemption to the register in place of that year’s climate statement.
Each exemption-related notice is available to view and download in PDF format. An exemption-related notice may be made up of one or more documents.
If you need help understanding climate statements
The FMA and the XRB have produced guides designed to help people understand the Climate-related Disclosures regime and the information provided in climate statements.
