Comparing international, EU and US sustainability reporting proposals

Big challenges lie ahead…

placeholder

Within the space of a few weeks, the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSBTM Board), EFRAG1 and the SEC2 have all published proposed sustainability reporting standards. Some are more detailed than others, and some cover wider issues for a wider stakeholder group. All of them represent significant steps towards greater connectivity between sustainability reporting and financial reporting.

In this podcast, hosted by Reinhard Dotzlaw, the three leaders of the KPMG global corporate and sustainability reporting team offer a high-level overview of the proposals.

The message is clear ... Now is the time to get involved in these important consultations. They will have wide implications for corporate reporting and that means there will be implications for your company.

Understanding the similarities and differences is crucial and we do hope that we will see – as much as possible – global alignment between all of these requirements.
