Aleksandra Palinska joins the EFRAG Sustainability Reporting Board

16 November 2022

Eurosif, the European Sustainable Investment Forum, is delighted to announce the appointment of Aleksandra Palinska, Executive Director of Eurosif, as a member of the Sustainability Reporting Board of the European Financial Reporting Advisory Group (EFRAG).

On 15 November 2022, the EFRAG’s General Assembly appointed Palinska as a member of the Sustainability Reporting Board (SRB). In that role, she will work to ensure that the EU Sustainability Reporting Standards result in improved corporate sustainability-related disclosures across all E (environmental), S (social) and G (governance) topics. Palinska will seek to ensure that the disclosures are comparable, reliable, and useful from the information ‘user’ perspective. Disclosures should include metrics needed to understand sustainability of a company and whether it is on a credible pathway towards climate neutrality and how it manages sustainability-related risks and opportunities, enabling investors to take informed investment decisions.

Context
