Why is ESG Reporting important

Stakeholders – from regulators and investors, to customers and the public – are putting your ESG metrics and disclosures under increasing scrutiny. They want access to credible, verifiable and comparable ESG metrics so that they can make decisions on areas that matter most to them. Meeting their expectations can mean going beyond mandatory requirements.

Sustainability, Finance and Accounting teams need to meet these reporting demands and demonstrate they have a clear reporting strategy.

ESG Reporting is a type of non-financial reporting in which ESG metrics and disclosures are reported.

Reporting is good for comparability. It can provide a benchmark for companies to work against by comparing them with other business leaders in their industries. It can also help to show investors and businesses the areas of the company that need to be focused on more intensely. For companies to succeed in the long-term, they must demonstrate how sustainable their operating models are, how they create long-term value for society, and how they make their company resilient for the future.
