When it comes to sustainability reporting, businesses face a confusing landscape. According to the ESG Disclosure Handbook, there are “…almost 2,000 reporting provisions and other resources that directly or indirectly affect the way in which companies report on ESG matters.” Because there isn’t one universal standard for companies to follow, it’s difficult to determine which ones are most appropriate.
