In late September 2024, the Taskforce on Inequality and Social-related Financial Disclosures (TISFD) will be launched. As we look ahead to the launch, the TISFD Working Group and BSR are pleased to invite BSR Members to a webinar to learn more about the forthcoming Taskforce.
Markets rely on people and society to operate. These dependencies, as well as the impacts businesses and investors have on people, can pose major business risks or opportunities. Inequality is a system-level risk for the economy, which can undermine the functioning and stability of society and institutions. TISFD will develop a global framework and recommendations for reporting and managing inequality and social-related risks, opportunities, impacts and dependencies. The framework will build upon existing initiatives and be positioned to be integrated within existing disclosure frameworks, including those of the ISSB, GRI, and EFRAG.
The TISFD Working Group, comprised of 25 organizations from business, finance, labor, and civil society, is working together to prepare the Taskforce launch. At the July 17 webinar, representatives of the Working Group will present the proposed scope, workplan, governance structure, and opportunities to become part of the Taskforce.
Join us for an informative session and to share your feedback on how TISFD can add value to your work and how to make it relevant for your organization.
In advance of the webinar, BSR Members are encouraged to visit the TISFD website to learn more about TISFD and consider becoming a TISFD Supporter.
