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".
Meeting the goal of the European Green Deal to achieve no net GHG emissions by 2050 requires at least half trillion euros of additional investments in the EU every year and will involve significant market and regulatory changes targeting every sector of the economy. This will profoundly change how companies and their directors need to integrate sustainability concerns in their strategies and business decisions.
Frank Bold organised two online events to present the results of the research on the disclosures made by 300 companies on climate and environmental matters providing targeted presentation and insights for companies in Southern Europe and Central and Eastern Europe.
On Tuesday, October 6th, Filip Gregor, Head of our Responsible Companies section spoke at the conference on ‘Global Supply Chains - Global Responsibility: Human Rights and Decent Work in Global Supply Chains’ organised by the German Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs on the occasion of the German EU Council presidency.
