What is ESG reporting and why it's a key investment in your company's future
ESG metrics and reporting are fast becoming business imperatives. Increased scrutiny from investors, shifts in consumer and customer expectations and likely policy changes under the Biden Administration mean companies are facing new pressure to measure, disclose and improve on ESG-related issues across three clear categories:
- Environmental: carbon emissions, water and waste management, raw material sourcing, climate change vulnerability
- Social: diversity, equity and inclusion, labor management, data privacy and security, community relations
- Governance: board governance, business ethics, intellectual property protection
Stakeholders across the business spectrum see ESG factors as a window into a company’s future. ESG reporting and metrics are also an important indicator of a company’s overall health, and ESG reports can lay the foundation for a compelling story about the impact your company is making on the world. Tying all three elements into consolidated reporting (using a reputable ESG framework/reporting standard), and to your broader strategy, signals that your company is taking the necessary steps to be viable and profitable in the long run.
And that’s music to the ears of investors looking out for the long-term impact of their investments.
How are leading companies using reporting to inform their ESG strategy?
Forward-thinking organizations are integrating values, goals and metrics into business strategies to mitigate ESG risks. They’re also seizing related opportunities to innovate and reduce costs. Both start with reporting that follows commonly accepted standards which stakeholders know and trust. It’s the baseline leading companies use to identify and improve on their strengths and weaknesses, and to tell an effective story.

Compelling ESG reporting doesn’t come together in a flash. It requires collaboration and insight from across the organization to work towards common goals as a team. Many organizations start by assessing the maturity of their data. Others want to focus on climate change, diversity, equity and inclusion or other significant areas of reporting. Some are further along in their thinking and ready to make optimizations. And in boardrooms across the country, corporate directors are looking to best understand their ESG oversight roles.
