Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Key Points : Sustainability reporting has become an increasingly popular practice among global companies and financial regulators. The practices employed to shape sustainability reporting are quite diverse, which limits their capacity to promote sustainable corporate behaviour. But this diversity creates an opportunity to assess the effectiveness of these practices as an emerging form of governance over corporate sustainability. Developing criteria to define the governance practices that support effective reporting is a critical step to inform discussions among financial regulators. This is particularly important as the Financial Stability Board (FSB) recently proposed to the Group of Twenty (G20) that a Climate Disclosure Task Force should be created to develop knowledge on efficient and effective disclosure.
