Factsheet on European Commission Legislative Proposal on disclosure of non-financial and diversity information by certain large companies and groups

On 16 April 2013 the European Commission (EC) adopted a Proposal for a Directive amending the Accounting Directives regarding disclosure of non-financial and diversity information.
