Session 1 – More transparency, less complexity? The Future of Integrated Reporting

Speaker: Tjeerd Krumpelman (ABN AMRO/IFRS Fondation), Kai Rolker (Clariant)

Moderation: Claudia Herzog-Kamensky (Kirchhoff)

Companies worldwide are more and more adopting integrated thinking and integrated reporting. At the same time the amount of mandatory work driven by new regulations has grown enormously and the jungle of sustainability reporting standards and labels is difficult to navigate. Will this help transparency? The world’s leading investors are calling for simplification. The IFRS Foundation has reacted to this: The Framework is now part of the IFRS Foundation and will help deliver a global baseline for sustainability disclosure, connected to financial statements. And Companies? Instead of fleeing into the defensive, they should see the opportunities and create less complex and more focused reports on which to counter suspicions of greenwashing with fact-based communication and storytelling. Join us for an insightful discussion on the future of Integrated Reporting, on challenges and trends – from corporate and institutional perspective.
