Announced in 2019, the Data & Disclosure Working Group responds to the current global need for improved data and disclosure by the financial sector to support national sustainable finance ecosystems and enable regulators and supervisory agencies to better assess environmental, social, and governance (ESG) risks at the market level and incentivize the transition to green economies.

Recent trends include the growing need for climate-related data, driven by initiatives such as the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). This Working Group will map the latest country-level developments in sustainable finance data and disclosure across the Sustainable Banking Network (SBN) community as well as international initiatives to facilitate the continued development of tools and practical guidance for SBN members.
