Analysis of Best Practices in Environmental Disclosure Policies

There is a growing focus on the need to direct capital effectively and quickly towards sustainable solutions. However, key questions remain about how investors, stakeholders and decision-makers can better assess which companies, activities or financial products are truly sustainable. And how can this information be better standardized in various contexts?  

This report by ICF and CDP analyzes the state of best practices in environmental disclosure, examining more than 100 disclosure practices in developed and developing economies. The document, which has been developed in consultation with the United Nations Sustainable Stock Exchange Initiative (UN SSE), also highlights practical examples for developing high-quality regulation that addresses market needs and investor demands, helping to mobilize private capital flows towards sustainable solutions.
