Corporate sustainability reporting is becoming more common across the globe, driven by interest from investors and customers. The most recent developments track a shift from reporting only impacts to disclosing the risks that arise from companies' dependence on nature and society. The recent European Sustainability Reporting Standards are set to cover more than 50,000 companies by 2028 but are facing some hurdles.
In this episode, your host Sarah Nelson is joined by Tobias Wildner, Global Head of Sustainable Finance & Standard Setting at the Value Balancing Alliance, and by Jake Kuyer, Associate Director, Economics & Sustainability at Oxford Economics. We discuss what these standards mean for markets and whether other jurisdictions are poised to match Europe's ambition.
