Sympact

Many are feeling keen and anxious as preparations begin for the next cycle of #sustainability #reporting, and some of you face mandatory hashtag #ESG #disclosure obligations. An impressive 96% of the world's leading 250 companies report on sustainability, and its increasingly expected of even smaller players. Our ESG Primer at the Responsible Mining Academy is full of insights on reporting and disclosure, framed crucially within the broader context of ESG #riskmanagement and performance. So if you or your team are going to be involved in your company's sustainability report in any capacity this year, we'd highly encourage you to apply to join our perfectly-timed October cohort, so you're ready to tackle the challenge in the new year! We promise it'll be worth your while. #sustainabilityreporting

Global Taskforce Launches to Tackle Financial Risks of Inequality! This is a potential game-changer for business and society that Sympact has been eagerly awaiting. Chaired by global leaders, and backed by over 100 organisations from across business, finance, labour and civil society, the Taskforce on Inequality and Social-related Financial Disclosures (TISFD) aims to develop a framework to address the financial and business risks of social issues and inequality, in the spirit of the now ubiquitous FSB Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and the newer Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) that recognizes the crucial financial risks associated with nature and biodiversity loss. Approaching social inequality as a material risk to business could potentially reshape much financial decision-making, fostering more resilient businesses and societies globally. #socialrisk #esg #materiality #riskmanagement #futurebusiness https://lnkd.in/eysj6tuA If you want to learn more, check out www.TISFD.org
