Adhering to disclosure requirements across multiple standards and jurisdictions

  • Adhering to disclosure requirements across multiple standards and jurisdictions poses challenges for institutions, including increased costs, market confusion, and the absence of emerging best practices.

  • Effectively managing ESG risks requires defining responsibilities and accountability at the board and management levels, attracting relevant expertise, and setting timelines and budgets for reporting.

  • Incorporating ESG considerations into corporate functions and engaging stakeholders are vital steps, alongside preparing for assurances over sustainability reporting to ensure consistency, verification, and reliability.
