Impact transparency
and integrity

Corporates and other sustainability and impact reporting entities face implementation challenges. Language, scope, requirements and timeframes still need to be harmonised.

We work to coordinate the interoperability of standards and reporting frameworks, whilst we continue to support efforts on implementation and adoption.

We advocate for the inclusion of all stakeholders from all geographies in these standard setting processes, such as the voices of emerging market SMEs. Our goal is to ensure that all such standards enable better decisions towards a more just and sustainable world, where all negative and positive impacts of organisations are identified and managed. 

Led by our Chair, Nick Hurd and managed by our Chief Policy Officer Sebastian Welisiejko, the Impact Taskforce was created in 2021 with the support of the UK government under its presidency of the G7. It unites over 120 leading voices from business, investment and public policy. Its seminal report “Time to deliver: mobilising private capital at scale for people and planet” was published in 2021. The report lays out actionable pathways for institutional capital to work more effectively with public capital to deliver the SDGs and a Just Transition. A progress report, State of Play 2023, takes stock of the original recommendations.
