IMPACT DISCLOSURE GUIDANCE

A network of financial institutions, capital markets participants, and industry stakeholders have formed the Impact Disclosure Taskforce to establish voluntary guidance to help corporate entities and sovereigns measure and disclose their efforts to reduce major gaps to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The guidance aims to assist corporate and sovereign entities, particularly those in emerging markets and developing economies (EMDE), to use the principles of impact measurement and monitoring to attract sustainable pools of capital. The guidance also envisions establishing mechanisms for disseminating and analyzing disclosed impact information to promote transparency and accountability. A link to the guidance can be found here.

The guidance was released on April 18th, 2024 for a 4-month consultation period, ending Sep 1st, 2024. Capital markets participants, including users of capital (corporate and sovereign entities), investors, bankers, broker-dealers and providers of market infrastructure, data and analytics are all encouraged to review the guidance and provide their feedback on all three sections of the guidance.

Guidelines for providing input:

• The more specific you can be when providing input, the better
• Anecdotal suggestions are welcome, to contextualize the feedback you are providing
• Feel free to provide links to sources that are drawn upon in your suggestions
• *Please do not share any confidential, competitively sensitive, personal, or non-public information in your comment. This includes information that would signal investment, divestment or lending strategies and/or intentions.
