Sustainability Reporting: Emergency Brake or Derailment Risk?
Emergency Brake or Derailment Risk?
Social and economic concerns are growing, and climate change is speeding up – developments that have the potential to permanently reshape our way of life. Ecologically. Socially. Economically. About time we pull the emergency brake! But how? With bans? Taxes? Subsidies? Or can transparency help us set the right course? Can sustainability reporting push companies to become more sustainable? Or does it pose a derailment risk for the broader economy by adding bureaucracy and draining resources?
In a nutshell
How the TRR 266 helps put the emergency brake into action
How effective is sustainability reporting? Are companies becoming more sustainable? And how does reporting impact other business decisions and the economy at large? What will it take to close reporting gaps and streamline reporting obligations? And what kind of support or incentives do companies need for sustainability reporting to serve as a meaningful emergency brake rather than a bureaucratic burden? Researchers from the TRR 266 are tackling these and other critical questions through various projects. Their research provides key insights that can help us address the pressing challenges of our time.
