The World Economic Forum Annual Meeting, held in Davos on 25-30 January, dedicated a session to integrated reporting. Considering the growing interest in the environmental, social and ethical risks associated with global business, the session sought to address the key question: how should corporate reporting be redesigned to integrate critical information on these risks under a common framework?
The session, moderated by Yale Professor Daniel Esty, saw PWC International Chairman Dennis Nally, KPMG Europe Co-Chairman Rolf Nonnenmacher, Global CEO James H. Quigley of Deloitte and James S. Turle, Chairman and CEO of Ernst & Young, as discussions leaders, addressing what they see as key developments in corporate reporting. World Economic Forum Director Richard Samans and GRI Chief Executive Ernst Ligteringen acted as challengers before moving to roundtable discussions, chaired by the four discussion leaders. The big four accounting firms above, as well as Richard Samans and Ernst Ligteringen, are all part of the IIRC or its Working Group.
