Ariane Hofstetter discusses the importance of sustainability reporting and what goes into creating a quality sustainability report.
A sustainability report is not just a marketing brochure but an official document that allows companies to track their efforts, inform stakeholders about their progress, and manage non-financial risks.
Ariane explains the key features of a good sustainability report, including transparency, comparability of data, accuracy, timely publication, reliability, relevance, and accessibility of information.
Sustainability reporting is not limited to large multinational companies. Smaller businesses can also benefit from sustainability reporting, especially if they are part of a larger value chain and need to provide data to their customers or suppliers.
The Global ESG Monitor provides evaluations and assessments of sustainability reports, helping companies identify gaps and comply with regulations.
