The added value of ESG & Board

Environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations are driving a complete reframing of how we measure value. It’s more than legal compliance, more than ticking boxes. Investors, consumers, employees, suppliers and other stakeholders are putting pressure on organisations of all types to put sustainability at the heart of business.

What is ESG Reporting?

ESG refers to Environmental, Social, and Governance factors that are increasingly being considered by investors when making investment decisions. ESG factors are used to assess the sustainability and ethical impact of an investment, and can be used to identify potential risks and opportunities associated with a particular investment.

Environmental factors refer to the impact of a company or investment on the environment. This can include issues such as climate change, pollution, and waste management. Social factors refer to the impact of a company or investment on society, including issues such as labor standards, human rights, and community relations. Governance factors refer to the internal management of a company, including issues such as executive compensation, board diversity, and shareholder rights.

What is ESG Reporting?

The risk of human error, an inability to edit data collaboratively (at the same time), and a lack of intelligent insights are reasons that the use of spreadsheets for disclosure processes leaves a lot to be desired. Instead, organizations should be looking for a unified solution that provides a single version of the truth. Data is no longer siloed across multiple locations.

Support processes with workflow

In addition to data management and analytics, Board’s platform offers workflow and collaboration features that enable companies to streamline their ESG initiatives. Users can set targets, assign tasks, and track progress towards ESG goals, ensuring that the organization stays on track and accountable. The platform also facilitates collaboration among different departments and stakeholders, promoting cross-functional alignment and knowledge sharin.
