ESG reporting

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

In this context, reporting expectations are constantly changing; moreover, the publication of data is rarely consistent. The range of ESG metrics and disclosure requirements used is wide and varies by sector, size, complexity and location. Their performance is assessed against a variety of different indices, values and benchmarks. So how can you clearly communicate what you are doing in key ESG areas? What should your ESG disclosures include?
