Fantastic outcome on today's @EP_Economics vote on the Disclosure Regulation. Well done to @paultang for tabling an ambitious report, and for the incredible political consensus built behind it. Stakes are high for political ambition in the rest of the Action Plan.

Asset manager $blk contributes more to #climatechange than basically any other company — yet its CEO Larry Fink got a ‘Humanitarian of the Year’ award yesterday.
