In November last year, Richard Howitt took over the role of CEO of the International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC) from Paul Druckman. A Member of the European Parliament for over 20 years, Howitt is an architect of the EU’s non-financial information directive, one of the biggest transformations in corporate disclosure anywhere in the world. He has been a rapporteur on corporate reporting-related issues, including social responsibility, for many years. An early advocate of integrated reporting, he now swaps the role of Ambassador of IIRC to being its CEO.
