Over the past decade, sustainability has become increasingly important for shareholders, employees, and customers. While regulatory requirements surrounding sustainability will continue to evolve, the larger issue is how the world now judges and values a company. Sustainability is integral to your corporate identity, whether or not a conscious decision is made in that regard, and it is linked closely with trust.

Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability Reporting is one vehicle for building this trust. Emissions reporting is a subset of this reporting process, and it is important that it be accurate, complete, and properly representative of reality. It should also follow a consistent process from year to year so that progress can be demonstrated and evaluated.

It is critical that stakeholders come to trust management reports on sustainability. Integrity, accountability, and transparency are the building blocks of this trust. Emissions reporting relies on the quality and completeness of the underlying data. Preparation by a reputable independent firm using using a robust, audit-ready data management system can provide assurance to stakeholders that the final reports properly reflect actual performance.
