10th OECD Forum on Green Finance and Investment

Progress towards the mainstreaming of impact management

The past decade has seen a significant increase in demand for corporates, investors and financial institutions to measure, disclose and improve their sustainability impacts. Under the Impact Management Platform, the leading international providers of sustainability standards and guidance have been coordinating efforts to advance the practice of impact management. This session will examine the latest developments across the landscape of sustainability standards and guidance, and what is needed to mainstream impact management. It will also reflect on the wider landscape of initiatives supporting sustainability-related financial disclosures (including the International Sustainability Standards Board) and accelerating the transition to a net-zero global economy (e.g. the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero and Net Zero Banking Alliance).
