Background on Sustainability Reporting
Sustainability reporting has been shown to add great benefit to companies in providing the frameworks to categorise and evaluate the various non-financial topics, to identify gaps and to find areas for improvement. By providing detail and measurement of quantifiable indicators and reporting them in a common language, the subject of sustainable development is more easily communicated in the boardrooms and within other managerial discussions of mainstream business.
This section provides the fundamental concepts of sustainability reporting and looks at who is creating the demand for it, which organisations are providing the structure and what the different audiences are looking for within it. The section also covers the evolution of reporting and provides detail on its current direction and its future outlook.
