Lessons Learned from the Field
Overall, as with any kind of corporate or financial reporting, being prepared to record, track and access the necessary data will be essential to provide relevant and reliable ESG reporting. Accordingly, organizations, both small and large, found it useful to seek help from experienced advisors, particularly those who could help identify trends and measurable data in existing reporting that could be mapped to the selected framework.
