Senior Secondments in Kind
EFRAG is looking for senior secondments in kind to support its work on the sustainability reporting work plan for 2024 including sector ESRS, implementation support, non-EU ESRS and interoperability with other frameworks and standards.
EFRAG is very grateful for the wide range of organisations that have provided secondments in kind for the technical work on European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). EFRAG seeks further contributions in the form of secondments in kind from a wide range of stakeholders.
In particular, EFRAG is looking for senior secondments in kind to support its work on:
- Implementation support for the first set of ESRS: that is,
- implementation guidance on climate change transition plans;
- examples of emerging market practices under ESRS, notably of issues addressed in the implementation guidance provided in EFRAG IG 1 – Materiality assessment and IG 2 – Value chain, but of other topics as well;
- implementation guidance on most frequently asked questions;
- Development of the draft ESRS for non-EU companies as required by the CSRD;
- Interoperability: that is, preparation and comparison of mapping tables with international initiatives other than the ISSB; and
- Sector-specific ESRS for high-impact sectors and financial institutions.
In most cases, practical expertise and real business experience (for sectors in particular) is expected. For certain cases, the secondment of a small team of experts would be preferable.
Ideally, secondments in-kind are arranged on a full-time basis, but they can be arranged on a minimum, part-time basis (50%) for a period of at least six months in principle. As part of the selection process, an interview with the candidates will be conducted to determine the type of work that the secondments entail. Academics are also welcome to apply.
