KEY INSIGHTS FROM OUR SUSTAINABILITY REPORTING SURVEY
01
The value of sustainability
reporting is widely understood.
Over a third of companies already
publish a sustainability report. Of
those that don’t, 76% expect or want
to publish one in the near future.
04
Data collection challenges
represent one of the biggest
obstacles to reporting. Other major
barriers include the complexity and
proliferation of frameworks, and
insufficient internal resources.
02
Having a sustainability strategy
has become a top priority. It is one
of the three main governance issues
cited by managers ranking their
ESG concerns, along with economic
performance and risk management.
05
Most leaders are aware of
upcoming reporting legislation.
However, one third of companies
remain unaware of regulations
that will soon impact them.
03
A knowledge gap is getting in the
way of reporting ambitions. Over
half of companies seek external
support, and 81% say that those
providing data need more education
on standards and good practices.
06
The top reason companies use
third-party assurance is to ensure
their information is accurate and
complete. Almost half already work with
an assurance partner, getting ahead
before it becomes a requirement.
