The long view, in annual and quarterly filings
A 10-K or 10-Q is a periodic report, so this counts how often the phrase appears in routine annual and quarterly reporting. It moves far more slowly and the numbers are larger.
Every month since 2008. The last point is the current month and is still
filling, so it always looks lower than it will be.

Half as many again as the same quarter last year. The card below carries the whole finding, so it makes
sense to somebody who never clicks through.

What it obligates
No control in the corpus names this term directly. Recorded rather than filled with a guess.
AASB S2 Climate-related Disclosures Evidence & Implementation Kit
21 controls sit behind AASB S2 Climate-related Disclosures, and this is the documentation set for them: an adopt-ready artifact per control, and the evidence an auditor asks for against each.
See what is in it, $249
The same set every buyer of this kit receives. Nothing here is produced on request.
What this actually means
- Why now
- 55 public companies wrote this into an 8-K in the last seven days, 57% more than the seven before. That is not sentiment or a survey. It is a count of companies choosing to put a phrase into a document they are legally accountable for.
- Who already cares
- 14 open US roles name this work today, which suggests increased attention to it beyond what any filing says. A job advertisement clears a budget holder and a filing clears legal, so the two answer to different people. We have not measured which moves first, only that both are moving.
- What comes into scope
- Once the phrase is on the record it maps to obligations within AASB S2 Climate-related Disclosures, TCFD Recommendations, CSRD. 47 controls behind those, and the difference between asserting them and evidencing them is the whole of the work.
- Who is exposed
- 25 companies disclosed this for the first time in the last ninety days, out of 447 in total. A first mention is a company deciding it can no longer not say it. Whoever has not yet is either genuinely unaffected or has not looked, and nothing here distinguishes the two.
What this obligates
The instruments in our corpus that govern this disclosure, and how many controls sit
behind each. This is not a filing count. It is what applies once a company has written the
phrase down.
4 frameworks, 47 controls between them.
Tell me when Climate Related Disclosure files something new
One email when a public company newly discloses this, naming the company and what our corpus says it puts in scope. Nothing else, and one click to stop.
Where this comes from
The left half is public record: SEC full-text search over 8-K filings, counted across a
14 day window against the equivalent window before it. You can check
every row.
The right half is ours: 723 frameworks and
20,473 controls, 531 of those frameworks verified against
their source documents, with the auditor evidence and common failure modes recorded control by
control. Controls appear here because their own text names this term.
