Understanding the TISFD framework: What it means for business
Help create stronger, more resilient societies and economies.
Shape the future of social and inequality reporting
Business reporting is changing quickly. Organisations now face growing expectations to measure and disclose their social impacts with the same clarity and discipline they apply to financial and environmental performance.
The Taskforce on Inequality and social-related Financial Disclosures (TISFD) beta framework is now open for consultation. Social Traders is a TISFD Alliance Member and supporting this important work.
The TISFD is designed to help businesses and financial institutions identify and disclose people-related impacts, dependencies, risks and opportunities. By making these issues more visible, the framework aims to support better business decision-making, stronger investor insight and clearer accountability to stakeholders.

- How Australia engages with and adopts global reporting initiatives
- What the TISFD framework mean to business for people-related impacts, dependencies, risks, and opportunities
- Why social reporting now plays a material role in business reporting
The TISFD beta framework remains open for feedback until Friday 31 July 2026. Explore the paper.
Participants attending this session will have the opportunity to ask questions and test ideas in an open discussion plus, share relevant Australian business perspectives that informs how the framework evolves.
