日本語
本研究は、スペインのIBEX35構成のエネルギー企業6社の64の報告書を対象に、テキストマイニングとNLPを用いてTCFDへの自主的遵守状況を分析。全社で年々改善が見られたが、完全遵守には至らず、スコープ1・2・3の開示に格差が存在。TCFD準拠指数を開発し、「実態」と「見せかけ」の二分法を評価する手法を提示。
English
This study uses text mining and NLP to assess TCFD voluntary compliance in 64 reports from six Spanish IBEX-35 energy firms (2020–2023). All companies improved year-on-year but none fully complied, with disparities in Scope 1, 2, and 3 disclosures. It develops a compliance index that evaluates the 'being' vs 'seeming' dichotomy in sustainability reports.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本ではSSBJがTCFDを基盤とした開示基準を策定中であり、本論文のテキストマイニング手法は、国内企業のTCFD準拠度を客観的に測定する際の参考となる。スペイン事例ではあるが、開示の質と実態の乖離を評価する枠組みは日本の有報や統合報告書の分析にも応用可能。
In the global GX context
This paper provides a replicable methodology for assessing TCFD compliance using text mining, relevant as global TCFD adoption expands. It offers insights into voluntary disclosure gaps and reputational risks, contributing to the broader discourse on climate-related financial disclosures under ISSB and CSRD.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Provides a validated text mining methodology to quantitatively assess TCFD compliance, enabling future comparative studies across sectors and countries.
🏢実務担当者:Offers a compliance index tool that can help corporate sustainability teams benchmark their TCFD disclosures against peers and identify gaps in Scope 1, 2, and 3 reporting.
🏛政策担当者:Highlights persistent information gaps in voluntary TCFD disclosures, supporting arguments for mandatory climate disclosure regulations such as those under ISSB or CSRD.
📄 Abstract（原文）
This study investigates voluntary compliance with the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) framework in 64 financial, Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) reports from six Spanish IBEX-35 energy firms (2020–2023) and explores the implications for intangible assets and corporate reputation, employing empirical quantitative text mining and Natural Language Processing (NLP) in Python. A validated scale-based taxonomy within the TCFD framework applies query-driven rules to extract relevant text. This enables an evaluation of aspects of the reports, facilitating the development of a compliance index measuring each company’s adherence to TCFD recommendations. All companies showed year-on-year improvements (2023 was the most comprehensive), yet none fully adhered due to information gaps. Disparities in the disclosures of Scope 1,2 and 3, persisted, suggesting reputational risks. A replicable methodological model generating a compliance index that assesses the ‘being’ (‘true performance’) versus ‘seeming’ (‘external perception’) dichotomy within sustainability reports and acts as a potential reputational barometer for stakeholders. By providing unprecedented evidence of TCFD reporting in the Spanish energy sector, this study closes a significant academic gap. Future research may analyze ESG reports using AI agents, study the impact of ESG on energy-intensive companies from AI data centers, supporting services like Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and extend this methodology to other industrial sectors.
