The engagement of our team in developing the EU legal framework for corporate responsibility, transparency and accountability is based on drawing the necessary knowledge from experts, as well as establishing constructive dialogue with multiple actors representing varied perspectives. I believe this approach to work is key to building a resilient path towards systemic change.
Susanna leads in the implementation of the advocacy strategy on topics connected to corporate ESG reporting. She coordinates the Alliance for Corporate Transparency, an initiative set up by Frank Bold in 2019 to bring together civil society and progressive voices to advance the EU legal framework, standards and practice for companies’ disclosure of their sustainability risks and impacts. She also manages the strategic engagement with stakeholders in the EU and globally together with her colleagues.
Susanna is a graduate of the journalism program at Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona in Spain, and joined the Responsible Companies team in Brussels in 2015.
The Brussels office of the public interest law firm Frank Bold is currently recruiting a Research Intern to start full-time in January 2017 for a period of four to six months.
New reporting rules require certain large EU companies to include in their management report a non-financial statement. These companies need to begin gathering and auditing information in order to be prepared to publish the required information within good time after the end of the 2017 financial year. Frank Bold recently published a short guide on the Non Financial Reporting Directive that identifies who will be affected and explains how to comply with the new reporting requirements.
On September 28, Frank Bold will hold the Creating Sustainable Companies Summit gathering leading thinkers, businesses, policymakers and civil society in Brussels to chart the way to the next generation of corporations and future of corporate governance.
