Today marks the official launch of the Taskforce on Inequality and Social-related Financial Disclosures (TISFD), a global initiative to develop and deliver recommendations and guidance for businesses and financial institutions to understand and report on impacts, dependencies, risks, and opportunities related to people.

We are pleased to share a summary of the feedback received on the Taskforce on Inequality and Social-related Financial Disclosures (TISFD) proposed scope and mandate and proposed governance model. The findings in this document are informed by feedback received throughout May to August 2024 from a diverse set of stakeholders, including over 1000 representatives from business, financial institutions, civil society, labour organisations, international organisations, academic and research institutions, consultancies and data providers. It highlights the key themes that emerged from the feedback process and how the Taskforce will incorporate and act on these findings. To gather feedback, the TISFD Working Group held 25 public events and distributed two public surveys. We also held three public deep-dive sessions to gather additional input on key questions related to the proposed governance model.
