Partner Vladimir Skobarev Moderates Roundtable Discussion on Sustainability Reporting

Vladimir Skobarev, FBK’s Partner and a member of the governing board of the UN Global Compact Local Network, has been selected to moderate a roundtable discussion titled “Sustainability Reporting — Reflection of Progress Towards Agenda 2030”, which was organised at the UN House as part of the event held to celebrate the fifteenth anniversary of the UN Global Compact Local Network in Russia.

The roundtable discussion was attended by representatives of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs, the Bank of Russia, VEB.RF, large Russian companies and other stakeholders. The attendees discussed the development of international sustainability reporting standards, sustainability regulation in Russia, selection of reporting standards and formats for current and future periods by top Russian companies, nuances of new reporting on the progress on the UN Global Compact Principles.

“I am happy to say that the roundtable discussion about sustainability reporting was met with great interest by members of the Local Network and other attendees of the event. The discussion demonstrated the importance for Russian businesses to be open and transparent and the willingness to incorporate modern non-financial reporting trends and best practices,” Vladimir Skobarev says.
