CDSB’s expanded Framework, out for consultation is expanding beyond climate change to include more information on natural capital, namely forest risk commodities and water. The Framework is designed to help organizations prepare and present environmental information in mainstream reports for the benefit of investors.
Information prepared in accordance with the CDSB Framework is designed to allow investors to assess the relationship between specific environmental matters and the organization’s strategy, performance and prospects. Through the provision of robust environmental information, CDSB hopes to encourage analysis and decision-making by investors that recognizes the dependence of economic and financial stability on a stable and healthy environment.
