This is your invitation to participate in a field test on sustainability standards and share your insights at the EIC Summit 2024!
Take part in the ESG Field test! Investors are increasingly factoring ESG performance into their decision-making processes.
We are collaborating with EFRAG (an advisory body which supports the Commission on the development of standards) and are glad to invite you to participate in a field test on sustainability standards for SMEs in which you can drive the development of ESG standards!
In the field test, you will be asked to test and reply to a questionnaire on the draft sustainability reporting standards and can thereby help shape future reporting requirements for SMEs.
Sign up by 31 January 2024 under the following link: News - EFRAG.
We are also glad to invite you for our EIC Summit 2024 workshop session on “ESG reporting for start-ups and SMEs” on 19th March, 15.15-16.00.
We will have an exciting panel discussion with leading experts in the field (from EFRAG, VentureESG, investors), and are keen on having EIC portfolio companies, who have participated in the field test, at the table. This is a great opportunity to demonstrate your work on ESG reporting and connect with other leaders in the field!
Sign up for the field test?
- We encourage you to sign up for the field test by 31 January 2024 under the following link: News - EFRAG.
- Participants can either test reporting standards for listed or non-listed SMEs. Even though you may not (yet) be a listed SME, we encourage you to ‘set the bar high’ and test the slightly more ambitious standards for listed SMEs!
