#1 Breakout session

In this session, we will offer practical insights and guidance for those of you starting with tax transparency – from publishing a tax policy to reporting on your tax affairs and contributions – and show you how to make the most of this powerful tool.

We will enlighten why having a tax transparency agenda is not just a “nice to have” requirement, but a powerful tool that can enhance your reputation, build trust with stakeholders, and drive business success. Moreover, we will provide practical tips on how to start implementing tax transparency within your organization, focusing on the steps and strategies that lead to success. Lastly, the session will focus on which components constitutes a good tax policy. We'll explore the key elements of robust, fair, and effective tax policies, and discuss how it can be designed to fit into your organization while touching upon the role of ESG teams in shaping and promoting good tax policies.

This session is best suited for those who have done little to no tax transparency and reporting to date, but who are considering starting. Attendees are encouraged to share their own experience and challenges and ask questions to the facilitators.
