From sector-specific disclosure regulation in the EU and human rights due diligence rules at national levels to proprietary ESG labels – sustainability standards are all but harmonized. Keeping up with the various frameworks can be a challenge.
Is help coming from the OECD with the recently updated OECD Guidelines? Can this toolkit for self-regulatory practices serve as a potential unifying framework, including for the investment sector?
