"Global impact transparency promises inclusive and sustainable growth, aligning profit and purpose to build the economies of the future. Emerging economies must be empowered to co-create the solutions. As leaders in emerging markets, we should ensure that we seize this opportunity to engage with international standard setters such as the ISSB to deliver for our communities." - Ibukun Awosika, Vice Chair, GSG Impact

In a guest article for Next Billion, Ibukun Awosika, argues that globally consistent data sharing and measurement—impact transparency—is as important as investment and goals. She charts the progress so far, particularly the work of the International Sustainability Standards Board. 

Leaning on her own experience in Nigeria, and GSG Impact's wider work, Ibukun highlights the lack of involvement of emerging economies in the standard-setting process, and in turn the unintended consequences for the Global South. 

Read the full article where Ibukun provides a series of recommendations to help set and implement sustainability reporting standards that work for everyone.
