EU corporates are considered international leaders on ESG reporting and sustainability transparency and disclose significant amount of environmental and social information. However, some stakeholders complain about the lack of non-financial data, their quality and how difficult it is to access these data. There are also many questions about how investors incorporate non-financial data within their valuation models and investment decisions. The European Union has taken sustainability concerns into account in its financial policies since 2013 and launched in 2018 its Sustainable Finance Action Plan. This sustainable finance focused webinar discusses what can be done to appease increasing pressure on EU corporates for more reporting requirements on their non-financial performance while avoiding undermining the level playing field vis-à-vis global competitors.
