Stock Exchanges & The SDGs – Driving the Demand for Transparency 

More and more, stock exchanges worldwide require non-financial reporting as a listing rule, with the potential to impact over 45,000 companies worldwide. 

Why? The strategic, regulatory and reputational risks tied to non-financial issues, such as Climate Change, Human Rights and Cybersecurity, are increasing. CEOs, CFOs and Boards now need to meet the demands for more transparency from investors, regulators and the public.

The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are being positioned as the globally accepted vehicle for communicating these risks and opportunities. How can companies seize the opportunity that the SDGs provide to meet these evolving stakeholder demands?
