\ntools for climate impact mitigation and adaptation, and NOW is the time for the
\ndecade of action to take effect. A lot is happening in the Environmental,

\nsustainable finance and investment has grown dramatically since the start of
\nthe century. Of the policies identified by the PRI, 95% have been developed
\nsince the year 2000. The pace continues to increase \u2013 the PRI identified 124
\nnew or revised policy instruments in 2020, the highest number so far and 32
\nmore than the previous year. As sustainable finance and investment policies are
\ndeveloped, driving investments towards sustainable, inclusive, and zero-carbon
\neconomies will require aligning regulatory frameworks globally.<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
\nparticular challenge when it comes to sustainability and corporate
\nresponsibility. We know that awareness and performance in sustainability writ
\nlarge correlates to better financial performance, and that higher levels of
\nmandatory reporting of sustainability metrics in various forms are required
\nacross the globe in order to provide comparable metrics within and across
\nsectors. Comparable metrics are critical to the policy decisions that need to be
\nmade to address global sustainability challenges. To date, ‘best metrics’ selection
\nhas been driven in large part through consensus building across stakeholder
\ngroups.<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
\nunderstanding the risks and opportunities likely to influence that potential.
\nInvestors are eager to see financially material sustainability data become more
\nreadily available and more standardized, and they laud participating companies
\nfor contributing to that vision. Investors also prefer that ESG performance be
\nbroken out at the function or business unit level to allow for apples-to-apples
\ncomparisons.<\/p>\n
