SGA ESG Newsletter - Tattva Issue 42 - June 2024
Introduction
The Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) introduced a unified global reporting
framework aligned with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) S2,
covering topics such as climate, forests, water, biodiversity, and plastics. This
initiative targets over 75,000 entities and aims to streamline reporting processes.
The collaboration between the Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG Protocol) and
the IFRS Foundation aims to harmonize GHG reporting with financial disclosure
standards. This Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) establishes joint
governance and updates, reinforcing their commitment to efficiently delivering
robust sustainability data. FedEx appointed Karen Blanks Ellis as the Chief
Sustainability Officer to execute its ESG strategy and oversee the FedEx Enterprise
Sustainability Council (FESC).
