Discussion Focus:

During the event, each of Panel Speakers will focus the discussion on one of the following items:

Beyond Compliance: Building Credible Sustainability Disclosure through PSPK 1 & 2
Beyond Greenwashing: Lessons from Australia on Building Trust in Sustainability Reporting
From Claims to Credibility: How Technology Builds Trust in Sustainability Reporting

Topic Synopsis:

As sustainability reporting becomes a business imperative, organizations face increasing scrutiny from regulators, investors, customers, and other stakeholders regarding the credibility of their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) disclosures. While sustainability commitments and claims continue to grow, concerns around greenwashing have heightened the need for transparent, reliable, and decision-useful reporting.

This seminar, “Beyond Greenwashing: From Claim to Trust in Sustainable Finance,” will explore how organizations can move beyond compliance-driven reporting toward credible sustainability disclosure that builds stakeholder confidence and long-term value. The discussion will examine the role of PSPK 1 and PSPK 2 in strengthening sustainability-related financial disclosures, lessons learned from Australia's evolving sustainability reporting landscape, and how technology can enhance the accuracy, traceability, and assurance of sustainability information.

Through expert insights and practical perspectives, participants will gain a deeper understanding of the governance, reporting, and digital capabilities required to transform sustainability claims into trusted, verifiable, and impactful disclosures that support sustainable finance objectives.
