Drawn from existing voluntary standards, the report offers comparable metrics and disclosures across four pillars considered the most critical for business, society and the planet. Our aim is to catalyze the convergence, simplification and standardization of the non-financial reporting ecosystem.

Statement of Intent to Work Together Towards Comprehensive Corporate Reporting

Integrated Corporate Governance: A Practical Guide to Stakeholder Capitalism for Boards of Directors

can work together to apply the principles on which the Forum was founded, as expressed most recently in the Davos Manifesto 2020: “The Universal Purpose of a Company in the Fourth Industrial Revolution”.
