Parallel Session 4

Transparency and accountability of market actors are key in assessing and, over time, enhancing the alignment of commercial with societal objectives. Measurement allows us to act and to track progress. Over the last decade, tremendous progress – both voluntary and regulatory – has been made on improving and standardizing corporate ESG disclosure practice in the real economy. The ESG-related impacts and risk exposures of financial institutions, however, too often remain enclosed in a black box. Following the lead of the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures this session will examine the need for, and feasibility of, standardizing ESG disclosure in the financial sector; it will also discuss the private and public benefits – and costs – of achieving fuller ESG transparency from the world’s financial markets.
