Join the CEOs of BSR, GRI, and SASB to discuss the role of reporting in the context of COVID-19 and hear early lessons on what the pandemic is teaching us about materiality, disclosure, stakeholder engagement and systems thinking.
The webinar will highlight common values when it comes to reporting and how different views of materiality complement each other. Panelists will also unpack the longer-term implications for sustainability reporting, given renewed emphasis on ESG issues, which stands to catalyze more resilient business decision-making through alignment of financial and nonfinancial reporting.
Note: There will be a follow-up 'Strengthening ESG Reporting and Performance in the COVID-19 Era' webinar on June 17 with HKEX, APG, and Singapore Exchange to allow us to continue to explore sustainability reporting in the COVID era -- with an in-depth discussion from the stock exchange and investor perspectives about how these issues and trends need to be applied in order to strengthen ESG reporting and implementation practices.
The International Financial Reporting Standards Foundation (IFRS) intends to consolidate the Value Reporting Foundation (VRF) and the Climate Disclosure Standards Board (CDSB). As ESG gains momentum and urgency, it is time to embed sustainability considerations in the basic functioning of the capital markets, which will only happen with universal disclosures that enable consistency.
We are entering the next era of just and sustainable business with a much clearer pathway. BSR Vice President Dunstan Allison-Hope shares a framework around which the field seems to be coalescing.
BSR's submitted feedback to the EU Social Taxonomy Process, an effort initiated under a mandate from the European Commission Platform on Sustainable Finance to ensure that vital social aspects of sustainability are integrated into the EU’s Taxonomy Regulation.
The International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) Foundation is exploring whether and how to set up an International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB). We discuss three opportunities and risks that businesses should know about the potential new sustainability standards.
The EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive proposal was released in April 2021. Here are six things that global businesses should know about it.
In response to the SEC's interest in taking steps to require climate disclosure, we discuss crucial steps that the SEC should enable to provide consistent, comparable, and reliable information that will strengthen investors’ ability to make decisions, provide incentives for business to generate long-term value, and lead to a market economy that delivers on society’s greatest needs.
The field of sustainability reporting is entering a significant phase of transformation that has the potential to set direction for disclosure over the next decade and more. BSR has developed a perspective to guide engagement in dialogue about the future of reporting.
The world of sustainability reporting after COVID-19 will be very different than the world that preceded it. What should change?
