Both organisations will put together their experience and expertise to encourage the swift development of European sustainability reporting standards in the social domain and at the same time the progress of converged standards at international level. The PTF-ESRS is convinced that both organisations will as a consequence progress faster and deeper towards their common and respective goals.

The PTF-ESRS looks forward to establishing cooperation arrangements with other leading international initiatives, including the IFRS Foundation.
