As governments are rewriting the international rulebook on corporate taxation, companies’ tax practices are coming under increasing scrutiny from investors and other stakeholders. Companies employing aggressive tax practices such as profit shifting could be exposing themselves to growing regulatory and reputational risks, which have the potential to directly impact their profitability.

There is also abundant evidence that corporate reporting on tax remains less developed and standardized across sectors and markets compared to other sustainability issues.
