European workshops on disclosure of environmental, social and governance information

Between September 2009 and March 2010 the European Commission is hosting a series of workshops to explore how companies disclose environmental, social and governance (ESG) information. Each workshop will look at ESG disclosure from the point of view of a different set of stakeholders: enterprises themselves, investors, trade unions, civil society organisations, consumers, media and public authorities. The disclosure practices specific to small and medium-sized enterprises has been a recurring theme in the 3 workshops held so far.
