„New ESG disclosures to change business perception“
Today we see the new developments that are changing our perception about what is the best business practice when a company wishes to disclose the information on its financial activities. Historically, we were used to seeing financial companies to disclose the financial information by publishing their annual reports concentrated on presenting how the company’s activity had changed the financial position and the profit of this company. Now main stakeholders of financial companies expect to receive additional, more systemically arranged and comparable ESG information.
EU Non-Financial Reporting Directive (NFRD), which came into force in 2014, has laid down the basic rules on disclosure of non-financial and diversity information. But the modern society is more and more concerned about the company’s activity impact on environment and sustainability. ESG policy is therefore becoming the hot topic of modern financial market.
