Rethinking ESG regulatory reporting  becomes a critical board-level challenge. Regulatory standard setters have been actively shaping the landscape and defining what “good green data looks like”. Implementation of new XBRL templates kicks off in 2024 and has pushed ESG data plumbing to the top of the open source standards list as financial institutions search for a way to create an auditable path between their data sources and the regulatory reports for the EU's  Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). Experts from Solidatus, Thomson Reuters Regulatory Intelligence and XBRL join JWG to discuss the key issues which will shape our 2024 priorities in advance of our annual conference on 7 February in London – find research on this topic and register here. 

ESG and climate standard setters have been busy. Boards face an alphabet soup of voluntary, industry, regulatory bodies which are defining how ‘green’ they are.

Kevin Bourne, former trader and ESG data guru, primes us for what lies ahead and teases out the ‘so what’ for regulated firms in advance of our annual conference on 7 February in London – register here.
