Sustainability and environmental, social and governance (ESG) initiativeshave become far more than corporate buzz words over the last decade and are now firmly part of many businesses core values, demonstrating commitment to transparency and accountability.
As organisations grow and diversify, the reporting of sustainability and ESG efforts has become increasingly important. The ability to set goals and subsequently track progress towards achieving them shows a willingness to make necessary changes to business practices, helping to reduce carbon footprints and create a more sustainable future.
As well as helping to build trust with stakeholders, employees and clients, regular reporting can help identify and mitigate potential risks, attract investors and enhance your reputation within your industry and the wider business community, be that on a local, national or international level.
The EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) will see significant changes in reporting legislation which will impact on a number of businesses, as companies are required to report more widely and in greater depth about their current and planned for ESG initiatives.
The sustainability and ESG reporting role can sometimes fall under a compliance officer or finance director’s remit (particularly dependent on the size of the organisation), but as this function develops and grows, and especially in light of the changes to CSRD, many businesses will need a dedicated professional who can help shape and drive forward sustainability and ESG initiatives at c-suite level.
