With sustainable business and ESG reporting now a priority, CEOs, senior management, Boards, investors, and regulators are increasing their consideration, development, and implementation of controls and governance processes over the collection, review, and reporting of sustainability information.
Regardless of the specific ESG framework or standard that an organization applies, the globally accepted COSO Internal Control Integrated Framework, with its five components and 17 principles, can help an organization articulate its purpose, carry out its objectives and strategy, and grow on a sustained basis with confidence and integrity based on quality information – including sustainable business information.
