Will Sustainability Reporting Become Easier Anytime Soon? A Critical Look at the Harmonization Initiatives

The corporate sustainability standards and reporting landscape has become cumbersome to navigate for reporters, who are faced with coordinating across multiple standards, and their various audiences. Assembling the breadth of ESG information now available into a coherent assessment of conduct or performance is demanding ever increasing resources – a big challenge for sustainability and corporate communication departments.  

Join us as we dissect the multitude of new initiatives that have been launched over the past year to promote alignment, consistency, and comparability across sustainability reporting standards. 

By attending this webcast, viewers will be able to answer these important questions: 

  • Who is involved in the effort to harmonize sustainability reporting standards? 
  • What are the various initiatives’ actual objectives, what is progress-to-date, and how may the outcomes ultimately impact company reporting? 
  • Will we see a consolidation of standards, or even a move towards a common or universal standard?
