Frank Bold together with other leading NGOs working on corporate sustainability and sustainable finance raised strong concerns about the delay in the publication of the Sustainable Corporate Governance initiative, as well as the lack of information explaining such new delay.
The shift towards a more sustainable economy committed through the EU Green Deal and the Sustainable Finance Agenda must be implemented at a corporate level. Connecting the dots between companies’ sustainability reporting, upcoming due diligence obligations and corporate governance is essential to support long-term value creation by EU companies. We therefore sent an open letter to the Commission urging them to support an effective proposal and to close the gaps in due diligence and corporate governance.
Read the full open letter "Risking Effective Sustainable Corporate Governance".
For the first time, the European Peoples Party (EPP) in the European Parliament is relying on the support of the anti-European, right-wing groups to pass a legislative text - its position on the Omnibus 1 simplification package. This represents a clear break with the cordon sanitaire that previously kept such alliances off-limits.
As Europe’s sustainability reporting rules face intense political scrutiny, a new analysis by Frank Bold provides timely evidence that the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) is already driving meaningful change in practice.
