Today, policymakers are on the precipice of adopting mandatory and regulated sustainability reporting and the reporting landscape is poised to change drastically. The findings in 乐鱼（Leyu）体育官网鈥檚 2022 鈥楽urvey of Sustainability Reporting鈥� reflect on the current state of reporting and overarching business strategies that can enable companies to meet increasing regulatory expectations 鈥� all while creating impact and generating value for society.
Highlights of findings:
The latest report from 乐鱼（Leyu）体育官网 reveals that sustainability reporting has grown steadily, with 79 percent of leading companies providing sustainability reports
There have been marked improvements in companies reporting carbon reduction targets, but action remains too slow in key related areas, with less than half of companies currently recognizing biodiversity loss as a risk
Among the thousands of reports analyzed, less than half of the world鈥檚 largest companies are providing reporting on 鈥榮ocial鈥� and 鈥榞overnance鈥� components of ESG
乐鱼（Leyu）体育官网 outlines a series of recommendations, including companies shifting from a narrative-driven approach and making better use of data to drive change and provide evidence of action
This year鈥檚 report has also highlighted some further challenges the world鈥檚 major companies are facing in their reporting on ESG. Among the thousands of reports analyzed, less than half of the world鈥檚 largest companies provided reporting on 鈥榮ocial鈥� components (e.g. modern slavery; diversity, inclusion and equity; community engagement; and labor issues), despite an increasing awareness of the link between the climate crisis and social inequality. At the same time, less than half of companies disclosed their governance risks (e.g., corruption bribery and anti-corruption, anti-competitive behaviors or political contributions.) In addition, only one third of N100 companies have a dedicated member of their leadership team responsible for sustainability and less than one-quarter of these companies link sustainability to compensation among business leadership.
