The three candidates are:

  • Patrick de Cambourg, a French national who is president of the French accounting standard setter (ANC) and has chaired EFRAG's Project Task Force on European Sustainability Reporting Standards.
  • Tjeerd Krumpelman, a Dutch national who is global head of Advisory, Reporting & Engagement at ABN AMRO and chairs the IIRC's special interest group on Integrated Thinking & Strategy.
