      Stakeholders - from regulators and investors to customers and the public - are looking more and more closely at your ESG indicators and disclosures. They expect credible, understandable and comparable data so they can make decisions for the areas that matter most to them. Meeting their expectations can also mean going beyond the mandatory requirements.

      The volatile global political situation and the associated uncertainty regarding the sustainability/ESG megatrend is causing great uncertainty for companies. However, due to ecological developments, the topic remains extremely relevant for companies and requires long-term, strategic planning. ESG reporting is developing into an important management tool here.

      Credible, comprehensible and comparable data

      Reporting expectations are constantly changing and the publication of data has rarely been standardised. The range of ESG metrics and disclosure requirements used is wide and varies by sector, size, complexity and location. Your performance is assessed against a variety of different indices, scores and benchmarks. So how can you clearly communicate what you are doing in key ESG areas? What should your ESG disclosures include?
