Conclusion. To navigate this era of change in ESG, businesses must be forward-looking and flexible in their planning. Regulatory bodies, investors, customers, and other stakeholders have demonstrated what’s essential now, but this is only part of what will be essential for tomorrow’s reporting. Technology, which enables seamless integration between teams in one centralized platform, will be key to streamlining the reporting process long term and delivering transparent reports that can meet these evolving demands to further boost employee, investor and wider stakeholder trust. While challenges around communicating ESG corporate value to stakeholders still exist, the findings show clear positive outcomes for businesses who prioritize this reporting. Organizations must implement actions that allow them to keep pace with the current and future demands from regulators, investors and other stakeholders for trusted, transparent data and ESG forward-looking business goals.
