The Taskforce on Inequality and Social-related Financial Disclosures (TISFD)

What is TISFD?

TISFD is a global initiative to develop recommendations that enable businesses and investors to effectively identify, assess, and report on their inequality and social-related risks, opportunities, and impacts.

Why is it needed?

In many countries, inequalities in income and wealth stand at long-term record highs and many people are unable to exercise their human rights and meet their basic social and economic needs. These dynamics undermine social cohesion and stability, impede progress towards addressing climate change and increase financial risks.

What is the long-term objective of TISFD?

Following public consultation on the governance, scope and mandate of TISFD, was launched end of September 2024 with an aim to establish a global set of disclosures on inequality and social- related impacts, dependencies, risks and opportunities which will inform global standards, such as ISSB or EU CSRD. 

What are the recent deliverables?

In summer 2026 the first version of the TISFD Framework (Beta Version 0.1) was published and opened for public consultation. It included conceptual foundations, proposed general requirements, draft disclosure recommendations and areas for future development. Future editions will include recommendations on metrics and implementation guidance.

How is Intently involved?

Intently has participated in the public consultation on the scope and mandate of the initiative and registered interest to become the supporter of the initiative. In November 2024 Intently was accepted as the member of the TISFD Alliance and we plan to support further development of the standard as part of this role. We have also provided inputs into the recent consultation on the Beta version of the standard.
