What does good ESG reporting look like?

The level of reporting required or expected of an organisation will vary according to its circumstances.

Publicly reporting on an organisation’s ESG strategy, activities and progress could form an important part of its stakeholder engagement and sends a strong signal of its commitment to the ESG change plan. It also in turn cements that commitment, helping to further embed ESG in the organisation’s strategic planning. Public reporting can help to establish the organisation’s reputation for openness and transparency, as well as engendering trust with its community. It can also help inform and strengthen internal reporting systems by requiring them to meet the needs of the public commitment and communication.
