Sustainability reporting is the practice of disclosing an organization's environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance. This process helps stakeholders, including investors and customers, understand how a company impacts the world around it. By sharing information on issues like carbon emissions, resource usage, and community engagement, organizations can demonstrate their commitment to sustainable practices.
Many companies use frameworks such as the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) or the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) to guide their reporting. These frameworks provide standardized metrics and guidelines, making it easier for organizations to communicate their sustainability efforts and for stakeholders to compare performance across different companies.
