It is now certain that companies will have to disclose more and more data and information about their sustainability performance. Those companies who do not yet do so should start in order to keep pace with the approaching legislation. In addition, reporting can offer opportunities, e.g., highlighting optimization potential and creating concrete advantages over the competition.<\/p>\n

1. Ensure that management supports sustainability reporting.<\/h2>\n

Sustainability reporting provides regular and structured information on environmental, social and governance performance. For such a comprehensive project, it is crucial to have the full support of the management behind you. The preparation of a sustainability report will affect the entire company and relies on the support of many people in a wide range of departments. This takes time, which is often money in a company. With an official roll-out or a company-wide kick-off workshop by the (executive) management or the board of directors, discussions about resources and additional effort of all involved can be avoided. It is best if a time budget is released directly, provided that employees are kept from their actual work. The first step in sustainability reporting is therefore to convince management with good arguments of the added value of ESG reporting.<\/p>\n

2. Deciding which is the correct reporting standard<\/h2>\n

There are numerous standards for preparing a sustainability report. Which one is right for you and provides the right scope of key figures and data collection involved can depend on many different factors.<\/p>\n

For example, from legal requirements in a country and standards in an industry, from the sustainability reporting standards used by other companies in the value chain, or from its corporate goals and philosophy. In the end, it is therefore often the case that companies report according to several standards and disclose corresponding data and information.<\/p>\n
