CORPORATE SUSTAINABILITY
Corporate sustainability originates from the principle of “sustainable development.” The World Commission on Environment and Development, a United Nations initiative, defined that concept in 1987. Sustainable development means actions that “meet the needs of present generations without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.”
To contribute to sustainable development, businesses should create wealth to reduce poverty, while ensuring that their operations do not harm the natural environment. By doing so, companies not only support our world today but also help ensure that future generations can thrive.
Through sustainability reporting, organizations communicate their performance and impacts across a broad range of sustainability topics, including environmental, social, and governance (ESG) parameters. Reporting promotes transparency, enhances accountability, and provides stakeholders with a clear view of how a company manages its responsibilities beyond financial performance.
SUSTAINABILITY REPORTING
Building and maintaining trust in businesses and governments is fundamental to achieving a sustainable global economy. Every day, organizations make decisions that affect their stakeholders — from financial institutions and labor organizations to civil society and citizens. These decisions are rarely based on financial data alone and increasingly take into account risks and opportunities related to environmental, social, and governance factors. Integrating sustainability considerations into these decisions helps strengthen trust, resilience, and long-term success.
