What is Environmental, Social and Governance reporting (ESG reporting)?

ESG Reporting Explained

ESG reporting measures and discloses company environmental impact (carbon emissions, waste management), people relationships (labour practices, community engagement), and governance (board diversity, ethical conduct). Think of this as comprehensive sustainability footprint examination beyond traditional financial metrics. ESG reporting importance grows rapidly due to increasing investor and stakeholder transparency and accountability demands. Strong ESG performance enhances reputation, attracts investment, and mitigates risks. Poor practices cause reputational damage, regulatory scrutiny, and investor confidence loss.
