Driving value creation and business transformation with sustainability reporting
Transforming reporting functions to align with strategic ambition, while demonstrating clear accountability for progress on your transformation towards a more sustainable business, creates value. Leading organisations worldwide are stepping up to address some of the most important environmental, social and governance ("ESG") issues facing the world.
Given the significance of ESG information, your organisation can benefit from transparency around your ambitions. Insightful, holistic and trusted reporting can demonstrate how you are harnessing ESG opportunity and managing ESG risk by using measures to protect and create value for the enterprise, its stakeholders and for society.
The impact of ESG and climate response on organisational issues
There are two types of reporting to achieve this:
External reporting solutions
Stakeholders, including investors use annual financial and sustainability reporting to understand how an organisation is impacted by, and addressing, sustainability risk and opportunity. They want to see compliance with relevant reporting standards, transparency, relevance and reliability. They want to understand the implications sustainability has on your prospects for long-term value creation and the ways in which you’ll manage risks. You want to engage your stakeholders and tell a consistent story across the market.
PwC can help you reimagine reporting that builds trust while creating sustainable value for the long term.
Internal reporting solutions
Successfully embedding ESG strategies into the core of how your organisation does business requires more than traditional financial information for decision making. Collecting, measuring and aggregating ESG information to manage risks and monitoring progress against commitments is also important.
Current and prospective employees are taking a greater interest in what type of organisation they work for. Sharing your commitment and accomplishments engages your workforce in a new way.
PwC reporting services helps organisations steer their reporting functions to integrate insights about ESG impacts, such as climate, into their reporting capabilities.
“When almost eight out of ten investors tell us they suspect greenwashing in corporate sustainability reporting, companies and regulators should take note. The lack of trust is troubling as sustainability information becomes increasingly important to both investors’ and other stakeholders’ decisions. There is a need for companies to improve their data, systems and governance, and for regulators to continue the move towards globally aligned and interoperable reporting and assurance standards.”

In our new survey, investors say they see sustainability as a priority for companies—and one that calls for financial discipline and greater transparency. Their views point to actions that business leaders can take to guide their ESG initiatives.
