De Europese Commissie houdt een publieke consultatie onder stakeholders om te onderzoeken hoe de verstrekking van niet-financiële informatie door ondernemingen kan worden verbeterd.
Inleiding bij de consultatie:
The Services of DG MARKT are conducting a public consultation in order to gather stakeholders' views on ways to improve the disclosure by enterprises of non-financial information (e.g. social and environmental).
Between September 2009 and February 2010 the services of the European Commission hosted a series of informal workshops that examined the disclosure of non-financial information from the perspective of different stakeholders. The Commission has also supported the work of the Laboratory on Valuing Non-Financial Performance, part of the European Alliance on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).
The EU 2020 Agenda on sustainable growth and jobs promotes the renewal of corporate social responsibility. In its recent communication on industrial policy, the Commission announced its intention to put forward a new policy initiative in the field of CSR. The communication on the Single Market Act (SMA) adopted on 27 October stresses the importance of strengthening consumer trust and confidence in the EU market, and achieving a highly competitive social market economy with sustainable economic growth. The SMA sets out an initiative to redefine the role of business in today's economy, focusing on improving transparency, particularly in the areas of environment, human rights and sustainable development, and on ways to enhance corporate functioning. The Services of DG MARKT are therefore consulting with a view to improving existing policy on disclosure of corporate social and environmental information, and respect for human rights, including possible proposals for new initiatives and/or revised legislative measures.
