Responsible Tax Requires Moral Courage

Let’s start with a disclosure: I have been deeply and proudly involved with the Responsible Tax movement since its inception in Spring 2014. My perspective cannot therefore be described as “independent”. Nonetheless, I believe that Responsible Tax is setting an important, new benchmark in how organisations approach policy development and stakeholder communications and, vitally, how they can take an activist, leadership role in the public interest.

Tax and ESG – The view of investors

The ESG agenda is top of mind for many companies and investors and tax reporting is one area that can serve to bring ESG practice to life. However, there is a feeling that existing standards might either be too simplistic or overly challenging for some companies or not appropriate at their stage in a transparency journey. Therefore, the B Team, KMPG International and Jericho have started to focus on how to arrive at tax metrics to support ESG goals that could gain wider buy-in.
