Sustainability Reporting for SME: Leveraging Sustainability Reporting for Sustainable Growth
August 21, 2021 @ 4:00 am - 5:00 am
Free
Sustainability Reporting or ESG Reporting (ESG stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance) is increasingly being mandated in many countries, having a deep business relationship with SMEs. It is gaining global acceptance with investors, regulators and other stakeholders. Investors and regulators are increasingly applying these non-financial factors as part for their analysis process to identify material risks and growth opportunities. This is influencing Investment and regulatory decisions and hence impacting the business of SMEs.
Sustainability Reporting is fast becoming a great equalizer and SME must take advantage of this and build greater confidence with investors, regulators, and other stakeholders.
Qualitatively engaging and aligning with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), performing and reporting it through the Sustainability Reporting demonstrates commitment and asserts your business as a responsible business, thus wining the trust of your stakeholders including customers. Engaging in sustainable business practices gives an unfair competitive edge to your business.
1. Your brand draw credibility and trust from Investors, suppliers, and other stakeholders.
2. You position your business distinctly above competition if your competition has not invested in ‘Sustainable’ practices.
3. Your business would gain a greater Customer / Client confidence and trust; this impacts the quality of engagement with them.
At the webinar we will discuss how SME can use Sustainability Report and align with SDGs to benefit their business and contribute positive and meaningfully to the environment. At The Sustainability Practitioners, we write “Sustainable Report” for business like yours. Reports that are value based; to your stakeholders and adds value to your business. The reporting is data driven and follows the current emerging global frameworks and is principle based, UN Global Compact (UNDC), Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and ISO26000 guidance standards.
