Abstract: Climate change has become a concerning problem for the green environment which causes the planet to deteriorate. The changes in temperatures create major shifts in weather conditions which results in increase in surface temperatures, adding vast quantities of greenhouse gases to those naturally occurring in the atmosphere escalating in the greenhouse effect and global warming. The study desired to help manufacturing companies consider disclosing their information on how climate change and the economic transition will affect their businesses and how they will influence the wider environment and society. This disclosure motivates investors by informing them about climate solutions and how the company is building its resilience against climate impacts so that they can make informed investment decisions. The study compiled data from 2005 to 2022 of JSE-listed manufacturing companies using the Iress database. Econometric techniques such as the panel data dependence technique, pooled multivariate regression, Generalised Method of Moments (GMM), feasible generalized least squares and Pooled Fixed and Random effects have been used for the study.
