IEMA’s Sustainable Finance Network has published the second volume in a new series of its Sustainable Finance Insight Journal, entitled ‘Disclosure, Transparency and Reporting in Sustainable Finance’.
In this edition, guest editor and network chair David Luck selected 11 articles written by IEMA professionals and sustainable finance experts, with an introduction by Will Goodhart, chief executive of the CFA. The result is a valuable read across some of the different aspects of UK and international practice, exploring disclosure and reporting in this field.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the content reveals that the core themes of disclosure, transparency and reporting were all rooted in the challenge of anthropogenic climate change. However, all also point towards a similar unifying theme – of positive change rather than of hopelessness.
The journal concludes with the relatively straightforward message that, although the regulatory framework relies on complex facts and figures, at its heart is “a simple, clear, qualitative statement, which doesn’t rely on any specific expertise. Do no harm.”
