📢 Thrilled to announce we’ve joined forces with Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), GSG Impact, IFRS Foundation, and ISO - International Organization for Standardization to launch Sustainability Disclosure and Management Hubs (SDMHs). This initiative will improve sustainability disclosures globally. 🌍 🌟 In 2024 and 2025, the #SDMHsProgramme will begin in 14 emerging market and developing economies (EMDEs) across Latin America, Africa, and Asia. These efforts will focus on driving sustainability reporting & management forward through capacity building, aligning sustainability efforts with national development agendas, and supporting stock exchange guidelines and regulatory frameworks, under the guidance of the #FC4S and partners. 🌱 The programme supports the adoption of the IFRS S1 and S2 standards but will also provide guidance on impact management practices and foster coherence between SDG management standards and disclosure standards. 📊 📑 Read the full press release: https://lnkd.in/d4BQH_2m #SustainableFinance #SustainabilityDisclosures
