CPA announce finalists for Integrated Reporting Awards

In September, New Zealand announced that it will be the first country in the world to require the financial sector to make annual disclosures on their climate risk exposure and management.

Around 200 organisations will be required to meet the new requirements by 2023.

Award judge and chair of the International Integrated Reporting Council’s governance and nominations committee, Jane Diplock AO says: “Integrated reporting enables business leaders and investors to better understand and respond to climate change, resource constraints and other issues requiring forward-looking thinking and planning, by explaining how the entity’s business model adds value over the long, medium and short term.

“These awards recognise organisations who have developed their strategy, governance, performance and prospects to create sustained and sustainable value.”
