On Tuesday 26 September, WBCSD will launch the Reporting Exchange at the London Stock Exchange. This follows three years of development by WBCSD, Climate Disclosure Standards Board and Ecodesk, as we researched corporate reporting across 60 countries. Our research showed that the past 25 years have seen a ten-fold increase in the number of corporate reporting requirements on environmental, social and governance issues. Through our new, free online platform, you can navigate these requirements and find guidance on what, where and how to report.

A new global initiative by the Global Agri-Business Alliance (GAA) was also announced, committing major international food producers to halve their food and agricultural losses by 2030, a target aligned with Sustainable Development Goal Target 12.3.
