Join Chicago Booth Professor Christian Leuz as he shares his latest research on transparency and sustainability.
Event Details
The recently adopted European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) - which go into effect 1 January 2024 - are just the latest example of how countries are targeting corporate activities with more transparency, requiring firms to provide reports on their impacts on the environment and society more broadly. But do these disclosure mandates actually work, e.g., when it comes to cleaning up the environment? What can we expect from more transparency?
Join Chicago Booth Professor Christian Leuz as he shares his latest research on transparency and sustainability, including on hydraulic fracturing, and discusses how his findings inform the broader debate about increased transparency when it comes to ESG and sustainability. Leuz's talk will be followed by a fireside chat moderated by Rolf Friedli, '96 (EXP-1), of Capvis AG.
