"Madam President, as this Parliament’s rapporteur on corporate responsibility, I would like to welcome SDG 12 and, in particular, Target 12.6 on sustainability reporting, and ask Commissioner Timmermans to defend and promote this text.
I have to say that this is less than the text of the 2002 World Summit, which called for intergovernmental initiatives, and the Rio+20 Summit, which called to build on existing initiatives. Indeed, it is less than the binding rules that Ban Ki-moon himself asked for last December, and for which we in Parliament voted in our committee opinion on the private sector and development earlier this year. Bloomberg found that three in four companies do no sustainability reporting. If governments were only
to meet targets, surely that would not be good enough. Many in business agree and want to do more. I thank UN negotiator Amina Mohammed for allowing me to say this directly, even if the final text of the SDGs could go further.
In Europe we can still showcase our own achievements on non-financial reporting – a directive – adopt the tracker developed by the GRI to encourage third country governments to implement this target, and maintain the holistic approach which businesses say they want in seeking to pursue the objectives of integrated reporting and of long-term investment."@en1
