Conceptual Foundations Discussion Paper
TISFD’s Conceptual Foundations, once finalised, will establish key terms, definitions and concepts to enable different stakeholders to speak the same language when discussing social and inequality-related issues. They will provide a basis from which to develop a disclosure framework for reporting social- and inequality-related impacts, dependencies, risks and opportunities - a beta version of which will be released by TISFD in Spring 2026.
