MORNING SESSION: THE INTERNATIONAL LANDSCAPE (in English) – 9.45am-13.00

Over the last year, if not even the last few months, there has been an impressive acceleration both in the collective and institutional interest in non-financial information, and in the efforts aimed at producing the conditions for its gradual standardisation. The work on the revision of the EU Directive no. 95/2014 on non- financial reporting, the mandate of the European Commission to EFRAG on these issues, the entry into the field of the IFRS Foundation, the creation of a group of five standard setters and framework providers of non-financial information (CDP, CDSB, GRI, IIRC, SASB), the announced merger between two of them (IIRC and SASB), the “rediscovery” of the role of intangibles, represent as many pieces of a picture informed by the same purpose of making such information more relevant, reliable and comparable for companies, investors, but also for society as a whole. The session aims to provide an overview of these rapid evolutionary processes affecting Europe and the global context.

AFTERNOON SESSION: THE ITALIAN PERSPECTIVE (in Italian) – 3.00pm-6.15pm

In light of the very rapid development of the international picture – both at regional-European and global level – in relation to the possible standardisation of non-financial information, new challenges are also posed for the Italian context and its actors regarding our participation in the ongoing processes and their institutional and technical reflexes in our country, also taking into account the broader social-political-environmental significance of this type of information and metrics compared to the usual purely financial one. The session aims to initiate a dialogue between relevant Italian stakeholders and share their vision not only on the evolutionary trajectories of the international context, but also on the role of Italy within this new situation that interrogates different interests and expectations.
