16/06/2023 - Launch of the EFRAG Connectivity Advisory Panel - Composition and related community

​In May 2023, EFRAG FR TEG approved the composition of the EFRAG CAP as recommended by the EFRAG Administrative Board supported by its Extended Nominating Committee. 

The objective of EFRAG CAP is to advise EFRAG FR TEG on EFRAG’s proactive research project on the connectivity between financial reporting and sustainability reporting information. EFRAG CAP members will share their perspectives and practical experience regarding connectivity matters, and help EFRAG identify, assess and prioritise connectivity themes, identify related good reporting practices and develop possible approaches to enhance connectivity. 

The role, competencies, composition, and modus operandi of the EFRAG CAP are described in its Terms of Reference. 

EFRAG’s call for candidates resulted in a large number (about 150) of high-quality applications.

EFRAG has also decided to establish the EFRAG Connectivity Community which is planned as a virtual group that will contribute on an as needed basis to EFRAG activities on connectivity. Although certain details are still to be decided, in broad terms we envisage that the members of the EFRAG Connectivity Community will receive periodic updates on EFRAG’s activities on connectivity and may be contacted with a request for specific input on an issue EFRAG and its EFRAG CAP are working on. In that way, EFRAG can enhance its interaction and cooperation with stakeholder and recognise the very high number and quality of applications we received.

Stakeholders with an interest in financial and sustainability reporting, are invited to join this community. It is still possible to join the Community by expressing an interest (including CV) to connectivityproject @ efrag.org. 

The composition of the EFRAG CAP is as follows: 

Chair: Jens Berger - EFRAG FR TEG Acting Chair

Members (in alphabetical order): 

Observers:

In addition to its members, the EFRAG CAP will also have  observers from designated organisations. Observer status will also be offered to interested EFRAG Financial Reporting Board members and EFRAG Financial Reporting TEG members and observers.
