Sustainability Reporting: 4 Principles to keep front of mind

1. Define the purpose of your report:

Your ESG report should clearly communicate to your stakeholders how your business is managing sustainability risks and creating long-term value.

2. Use recognised frameworks and report structures:

Structure your report around key areas such as Governance, Strategy, Risk Management, and Metrics & Targets.

3. Focus on what matters most to your business and stakeholders:

Not all ESG factors are equally important. Prioritise those most material to your business. (Read our post on Materiality to learn more about identifying relevant ESG factors.)

4. Be honest:

Transparency is critical for building credibility. Avoid the temptation to inflate your ESG claims, as savvy investors can easily spot greenwashing. Ensure your reporting is accurate and balanced.

Summary

Use your report to demonstrate responsible management of sustainability risks and to  position your company for long-term success. By starting now, you can drive positive change and stay ahead in a competitive marketplace.
