How can sustainability leaders drive business growth?
Sustainability leaders can advance their companies' sustainability reporting by closely collaborating with the finance function and ESG controllers on required disclosures and providing institutional knowledge on voluntary reporting efforts. In turn, they can leverage this information to help the organization execute its strategy, develop new products and services and decarbonize supply chains and operations. Sustainability initiatives offer extraordinary opportunities that can identify ways to save money and grow the business. As a result, sustainability leaders can gain a leading voice in the C-suite.

ESG regulations highlight importance of compliance
The EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), Deforest Regulation and the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) are just a few examples of how global regulations are driving expanded ESG reporting, regardless of where your company is headquartered. Here’s how these rules will impact your business.

ESG reporting
The new era of ESG compliance
Regulation is transforming corporate reporting. With the EU’s CSRD and the SEC’s climate-related disclosure rules (which are currently on hold), companies need to understand whether the approach that sufficed today for voluntary reporting will hold up tomorrow.
ESG controllers, who specialize in sustainability reporting, are leading efforts to establish controls and processes necessary to provide reliable reporting around nonfinancial data. That allows you to refocus on what you do best: identifying the organization’s material impacts, risks and opportunities, executing strategy to advance sustainability goals and creating value across the business.
Together, you can work to satisfy demands for high-quality data and reporting that can be assured by an independent third party. Doing so can build trust at a time when many investors believe ESG reporting contains unsupported claims.
