European Lab Steering Group (European Lab SG)
The European Corporate Reporting Lab at EFRAG (European Lab) has been established in September 2018 by EFRAG, following the call by the EC in its March Action Plan on Financing Sustainable Growth. The European Lab's objective is to stimulate innovations in the field of corporate reporting in Europe by identifying and sharing good practices.
The European Lab has a multi-stakeholder Steering Group (the European Lab SG) and under its direction, EFRAG establishes project task forces for specific projects (European Lab PTFs). The European Lab SG is responsible for setting the agenda of the European Lab; appointing the members of the European Lab PTFs; monitoring project implementation; promoting outputs of the European Lab and mobilising networks; giving direction on external communication and review of progress of the European Lab's activities.
