World Economic Forum opens consultation on ESG metrics and disclosures

The World Economic Forum has opened a consultation on the paper “Towards Common Metrics and Consistent Reporting of Sustainable Value Creation” presented at the 2020 Annual Meeting in Davis-Klosters. The paper proposes two sets of metrics: one set of 22 core metrics that are well-established in the business community, and another set of 34 metrics that provide a more advanced measurement of sustainable value creation.

The WEF now seeks feedback from corporations, investors, standards setters and the general public. The online survey for the consultation will be available until 5 2020 June and takes approximately 30-40 min to complete.
