Overview

The need for sustainable reporting has gained momentum in recent times. A Sustainability report discloses the impact an organisation would have on the Environmental, Social, and Governance factors. According to the sustainable banking report 2022 titled ‘Mobilizing Retail Investor capital’, there are increasing numbers of investors who want their investment to make a positive impact on the society and the environment. It has been reported that potential ESG investment totals the sum of $8.2 trillion. The report highlighted that investors were faced with limitations when it pertained to increasing their sustainable investments.

Accessibility, comprehensibility, and comparability were highlighted as hindrances to sustainable investments. In order to mitigate these limitations investors face; and for boards to capitalise on the potential ESG investments. Boards need to be at the forefront of sustainability reporting and set up a sustainability framework that propels investment from investors who are ESG enthusiasts.

The board is responsible for ensuring that sustainability and ESG-related matters are integrated entirely into the organisation’s strategy, accountability, and decision-making reporting.
