Listen again to the launch webinar of the “Invest Europe ESG Reporting Guidelines: Setting the industry standard for ESG reporting”.

Users who collect data and report on all the ESG metrics in line with the staged approach are free to download the Invest Europe ESG Reporting Guidelines logo and add it to their reports.
