ESG Reporting

How to Align with Global Sustainability Standards

What is It

ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) reporting is the process of disclosing an organization’s sustainability performance to stakeholders.
It helps businesses assess their environmental impact, social responsibility, and governance structures.
ESG reporting is essential for regulatory compliance, investor confidence, and long-term corporate sustainability.

Why It Matters

With increasing global regulations and investor expectations, ESG reporting has become a business imperative.

88% of institutional investors consider ESG disclosures when making investment decisions (Source: PwC).
More than 50,000 companies will be required to comply with the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) by 2026 (Source: Deloitte).
Companies with strong ESG performance experience 10% lower capital costs due to reduced risks (Source: McKinsey).

Effective ESG reporting enhances transparency, strengthens brand reputation, and attracts sustainable investments.
