With the SDGs and the Paris Agreement, a variety of commitments were put into the market - net zero alliances, net zero targets, reporting standards. But despite the slowdowns in global economic growth during the Corona crisis, CO2 emissions continue to rise. It is time to move from Commitment to Action.

Financial market demand for impact data is increasing, as purely quantitative output metrics such as CO2 emissions provide insufficient information.

The panel will discuss the added value of monetized impact information, the information needs of investors, data availability at companies, and the role of standard setters.
