Sustainability Reporting

Communicating your sustainability plans and activities

Demands for transparency on sustainability and climate-related risks and opportunities have been increasing for businesses worldwide. Stakeholders are calling out for information that is accessible, informative, comparable, and – of course – not misleading.

Essential decisions – like your choice of reporting standards or framework - are often driven by the ultimate purpose of the report. Your jurisdiction's regulator(s) will likely guide your reporting structure and location if the report's purpose is compliance. For some organisations, this requires consideration of multiple regulations when operations or sales are also in other jurisdictions.
