  • To comment on exposure drafts of sustainability disclosure standards or proposed regulations with sustainability reporting relevance that may be issued by financial sector regulators and other relevant government agencies or stakeholders, such as the Securities and Exchange Commission, Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, Insurance Commission, Commission on Audit, and the Philippine Stock Exchange.
