What is ESG Reporting?

ESG reporting (a.k.a. Sustainability Reporting) refers to the disclosure of data covering a company’s operations in three areas: environmental, social and corporate governance. It provides a snapshot of the business’s impact in these three areas for investors, customers and wider stakeholders. The value of ESG reporting is that it ensures organizations consider their impacts on sustainability issues and enables them to be transparent about the risks and opportunities they face.

The US-SEC has issued multiple drafts on climate related reporting and is expected to release it’s first set of climate disclosures in 2023 with implementation from FY 2024. The expectation is that the SEC will use ISSB standards (International Sustainability Standards Board – under IFRS).
