The growth in corporate sustainability reporting is becoming more pressing with new global regulations unfolding, and a greater push for companies to obtain verifiable data across environmental, social and governance (ESG) material risks. Non-financial reporting is driving a step-change not only in reporting practices but also in corporate strategy with ESG data and evidence-based disclosures being used as strategic decision-making tools. The ways in which companies report on sustainability, as well as the auditability of their disclosures, are being scrutinised by a growing number of vested stakeholders, which should encourage companies to invest in a robust program of activating and embedding sustainability across their organisation. Join us for an open discussion about the considerations companies must factor in when managing a sustainability program.
