These dependencies, as well as the impacts businesses and investors have on people, can pose major business risks or opportunities. Inequality is a system-level risk for the economy, which can undermine the functioning and stability of society and institutions. TISFD will develop a global framework and recommendations for reporting and managing inequality and social-related risks, opportunities, impacts and dependencies. The framework will build upon existing initiatives and be positioned to be integrated within existing disclosure frameworks, including those of the ISSB, GRI, and EFRAG. </p><p style="margin:0;mso-line-height-alt:16.8px"> </p><p style="margin:0;mso-line-height-alt:16.8px">The TISFD Working Group, composed of 25 organisations from business, finance, labour, and civil society, is working together to prepare the Taskforce launch.
