Programme Objective
Sustainability reporting is the practice of measuring, disclosing, and being accountable for an organisation's economic, environmental, and social impact. Sustainability reporting helps an organization communicates various ways in which they are contributing to sustainable development and meeting the needs of their stakeholders. It also helps organisations to identify and address sustainability challenges and opportunities.
There is increasing demand for organisations to be transparent about their sustainability initiatives and growing concerns on environmental and social issues, such as climate change, resource depletion, and inequality. Finally, there are increasing regulatory and market incentives for sustainability reporting, such as sustainability reporting standards and sustainability-related disclosure requirements.
Sustainability reporting standards are guidelines that organizations can use to report on their economic, environmental, and social impacts. These standards provide a framework for organisations to report on their sustainability performance in a consistent and comparable way, to help them to identify and disclose material sustainability issues that are relevant to their stakeholders.
Organisations may choose to use one or more of these sustainability reporting standards, based on their specific needs and the expectations of their stakeholders
Programme Outline
In this 3.5-hour workshop, we will explore the following sustainability reporting standards:
- Global Reporting Initiative (GRI): The GRI is the most widely used sustainability reporting standard and provides guidelines for organizations to report on a wide range of sustainability topics.
- International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB): The mandate for the ISSB to deliver a comprehensive global baseline of sustainability-related disclosure standards that provide investors and other capital market participants with information about companies’ sustainability-related risks and opportunities to help them make informed decisions.
- Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB): The SASB provides industry-specific sustainability reporting standards for publicly listed companies in the United States.
- Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD): The TCFD is a voluntary task force established by the Financial Stability Board (FSB) in 2015 with the aim of developing recommendations for consistent climate-related financial disclosures by companies. The TCFD aims to help companies understand and disclose the risks and opportunities associated with climate change, and to encourage the integration of climate-related considerations into their financial reporting.
- The Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP): The CDP is a not-for-profit organization that provides a framework for companies to report on their greenhouse gas emissions and climate-related risks and opportunities.
