- Speaker: Frans Hietbrink (XBRL NL and co-chair SBR WG)
- Regarding the exchange of data there is a rising need for the qualification of all involved identities and the action taken upon data in the exchange between two or more persons. To assure Qualified Information Exchange, multiple components are required, including electronic IDs (eIDs), data, processes, technical protocols and support. There is a need for an architecture in which identifying persons, exchanging information, authorizing external parties and signing documents, will become more user-friendly and secure. In this presentation Frans will give a personal update from Netherlands Tax regarding the development of digital ecosystems in a cooperation between science, business and government.

- Speaker: Giel Linthorst (Director Sustainable Finance and Executive Director of PCAF Secretariat)
- The Partnership for Carbon Accounting Financials (PCAF) is a global industry-led initiative of over 60 financial institutions to standardize the measurement and disclosure of the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions financed by loans and investments in line with the GHG Protocol. Next to developing and harmonizing methodologies to measure financed emissions, the PCAF participants have joined forces to improve the availability and quality of GHG emissions data. Over the past years, the Dutch PCAF participants have collaborated with the Dutch government and governmental agencies to get access to actual energy consumption data and thus GHG emissions data for their mortgages and business loans portfolio. In this presentation, you will hear more about these experiences and the future plans of PCAF related to standardizing GHG emissions dataflows based on XBRL and related to the EU Non-Financial Reporting Directive (NFRD).
16:45 – 17:05 – Tackling globally standardized ESG disclosure is a business imperative, a data-centric approach supported by XBRL
- Speaker: Prof. dr. Erik Beulen (Chairman XBRL NL and full professor Information Management at Tilburg University, the Netherlands)
- ESG is an important topic. Important for our society and valuation of companies, as well an opportunity to expand XBRL in non-financial reporting. The positioning of XBRL as standard requires our full focus. How can we expand XBRL ?
