Call for ESG Disclosure from "Across the Pond"

Earlier this week, a coalition of over 50 investment firms and professionals led by the US SIF called on the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to require listed companies to report on ESG issues.

They asked the SEC to mandate annual reporting on sustainability indicators in accordance with the GRI framework and on other material ESG matters.

This follows Eurosif’s call on European institutions in April to require disclosure of ESG data by listed companies.

These initiatives give additional support to the view that improved reporting will help strengthen financial markets and foster sustainable business practices.

    I applaude your efforts as I am amongst those who champion responsible finance for a sustainable Recovery.

    China's recent announcement that it is on track to see 8 percent growth in 2009 along with positive US housing and manufacturing data, give us reason to be optimistic.
