Preparing for the International Integrated Reporting Committee’s Proposals Learn more 

A better model of reporting is needed. That is the rationale behind the International Integrated Reporting Committee’s (IIRC) vision of a new reporting framework that brings together financial, non-financial, and sustainability disclosure to provide a more holistic accounting of business value. Now the IIRC has published its discussion paper, “Towards Integrated Reporting – Communicating Value in the 21st Century,” laying the groundwork for a new reporting framework.

This decision represents one of the most significant milestones so far on the issue of business and human rights. After six years of consultation, debate and discussion, more clarity exists today than ever before on the responsibilities that businesses hold to respect human rights.
