ESG Reporting
ESG reporting, also known as Environmental, Social, and Governance reporting, is a framework that allows businesses to measure and disclose their performance in key sustainability areas. It goes beyond traditional financial reporting by considering environmental, social, and governance factors that impact a company's long-term value and reputation.

ESG reporting entails the systematic collection, analysis, and disclosure of data related to a company's environmental impact, social responsibility, and governance practices. This includes aspects such as carbon emissions, energy and resource usage, waste management, labor practices, human rights, diversity and inclusion, board composition, executive compensation, and more.
WHY INVEST
IN ESG?
The primary purpose of ESG reporting is to provide stakeholders, including investors, customers, employees, regulators, and communities, with transparent and reliable information about a company's sustainability performance. It enables them to assess the company's impact on the environment and society, as well as its management practices and ethical standards. ESG reporting helps stakeholders make informed decisions, allocate capital responsibly and hold companies accountable for their actions.
IS ESG
REPORTING OBLIGATORY?
ESG reporting is not mandatory in all jurisdictions, but it is increasingly becoming a requirement or an expectation for companies, especially those operating in highly regulated industries or seeking investment from socially responsible investors. Many stock exchanges, regulatory bodies, and industry associations have introduced guidelines and frameworks to encourage or even mandate ESG reporting.
​
The extent of ESG reporting obligations varies across jurisdictions and sectors. In some cases, it may be mandatory for listed companies to disclose certain ESG information in their annual reports or through specific reporting frameworks. In other cases, it may be voluntary, but companies are encouraged to report to demonstrate their commitment to sustainability and attract investment. ESG reporting requirements are evolving rapidly and companies need to stay informed about the regulations and expectations relevant to their industry and geographic location.
