Preparing for sustainability reporting

what you need to know, where you need to start and what good looks like

  • 14 July 2022

This event is part of the ESG Exchange which guides and equips organizations to publish assurable sustainability reports meeting the global mandates.

Organizations have a opportunity now to prepare for new regulations around sustainability reporting, and commit to transparency and accountability. We already know that sustainability reporting will consider a range of environmental, social and governance (ESG) areas. Certainly a starting point would be to identify such metrics which are relevant for the organization and the context within which it operates, but what metrics?

 

This webinar provides organizations with guidance on where to start on the road to sustainability reporting – to meet relevant stakeholder needs, wants and expectations of such sustainability reports, no matter the regulatory environment within which the organization operates.
