Sustrack’s ESG Reporting Framework: Building Credible, Compliant and Strategic Sustainability Disclosures
Organisations today are under increasing pressure to demonstrate to their stakeholders how their business practices will create long-term value. ESG(Environmental/Social/Governance) information has gone from something companies did on their own accord to a crucial element of a corporation's strategy, a means of complying with government regulations and a way to communicate with investors. A credible, compliant and systemic approach to ESG can help an organisation quantify, structure and report its ESG performance consistently and credibly. This is precisely the type of support Sustrack provides to the corporate world as they help their clients address the complexity of sustainability reporting that is mandated by the international reporting framework.
The Need for an ESG Reporting Framework
ESG reporting frameworks establish a means of organizing, collecting, analysing, and publishing data on sustainability. As more companies disclose information about their sustainability practices in non-standard formats and across multiple platforms, there is an increased concern that stakeholders such as investors, regulators, customers, and employees will not have access to high-quality ESG reporting and other ESG information from companies around the world.
A well-defined ESG reporting framework allows organisations to improve the transparency of their environmental impact, their corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities, and their corporate governance practices by clearly defining how each of these dimensions is managed. It also assists with compliance with regulatory and market standards related to ESG reporting across a multitude of jurisdictions. Furthermore, ESG reporting is no longer merely compliance; organisations use these reports strategically to identify risks, create opportunities, and build long-term resilience.
How Sustrack Supports Reporting Excellence on the Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) Reporting
Sustrack provides an extensive framework for creating Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) reports from basic data collection through to high-impact disclosures. It combines technical expertise with digital tools and knowledge of Global Standards to provide organizations with a way to develop and deliver accurate, auditable and decision-useful ESG reports.
Sustrack partners with organizations to assess ESG Maturity and to determine their Materiality of Topics for Reporting as well as align their Sustainability Goals with Business Objectives. A structured approach ensures that all ESG data is both captured for Reporting and integrated into Strategic Planning and Performance Management Systems.
Comparison With Globally Recognized Reporting Standards
One of the greatest strengths of Sustrack's ESG Reporting Framework is it's alignment to globablly recognised standards, which gives it credibility, makes it comparable and consistent for all ESG disclosures made.
Global Reporting Initiative (GRI)
The GRI Reporting Framework is the most widely used framework for sustainability reporting and focuses on reporting on an organisation's economic, environmental and social impacts. Sustrack provides assistance in identifying the material topics for organisations, mapping their reports to the GRI standards and developing reports that meet the expectations of their stakeholders about the transparency of sustainability reporting.
Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reporting (BRSR)
In India BRSR requirements for listed entities have been made law for listing companies. As part of BRSR registration, Sustrack provides guidance to organisations on how to structure BRSR Disclosures, how to collect accurate data through their evaluating chains and how to ensure that their BRSR disclosures are aligned to the Regulatory Guidelines. This enables organisations to be compliant with the BRSR Laws and improve the overall quality of their ESG Reporting.
The Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) focuses on climate change, water security and deforestation and how they all interconnect. Sustrack supports organizations to calculate their greenhouse gas emissions, understand their climate risks and answer CDP surveys accurately and consistently, thus improving their ability to demonstrate environmental transparency through strong climate-related disclosures.
The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is a formal regulatory framework that was set up by the European Union to manage carbon leakage or the competition between countries with less stringent carbon pricing and those with more stringent carbon pricing, in order to promote a fair carbon price for the international trade of goods. As part of this process, organisations that export carbon intensive products to the EU will be required to measure, manage and report their greenhouse gas emissions embedded in the goods that they are exporting to the EU. This enhances the transparency of the emission calculation process, while also increasing the level of sustainability accountability of organisations in relation to their export supply chains.
Improving Transparency and Compliance with Regulators
Transparency is the foundation for successful ESG reporting. Sustrack provides reliable data, methodologies, and consistent stories for every disclosure made. By doing so, it can help prevent greenwashing attacks and build stakeholder confidence through its transparency.
On the regulatory side, international trends show that ESG regulation will continue to tighten. Sustrack works with companies to ensure that they can meet evolving regulations, whether they are in practice today or being developed for future implementation. This allows companies to minimize their risk of regulatory penalties and ensure long-term sustainable operations.
Investor Confidence & Strategic Value Creation
Increasingly, investors are relying on a company's ESG data in determining their risk, performance and the long term accumulation of value through an investment. The ESG reporting that is produced with Sustrack's framework provides the investor with trustworthy, comparable and useful information, thus building investor confidence in the company's reporting.
In addition to providing external reporting to stakeholders, the insights that can be derived via the Sustrack framework allows companies to make better internal decisions based on the improved use of ESG data to drive their decision-making, create operational efficiencies, manage climate and social risk, and align their corporate sustainability initiatives with their business strategy.
