  • Work closely with SI to develop and implement enhanced reporting disclosures and measurements, including accounting for financed emissions.
  • Engage with other pension plans, sustainability reporting advisors, and industry participants to stay updated on current and emerging sustainability measurement and reporting practices, integrating new methodologies and regulatory requirements into existing reporting frameworks.
