A sustainability report is a document in which an organization discloses its environmental, social and governance performance, impacts, goals and progress over a reporting period.
A sustainability report, also called an ESG report, corporate responsibility report or impact report, is a publication in which an organization discloses information about its environmental, social and governance performance. It usually covers a financial year and includes data, targets, policies and case studies.
Most reports follow one or more frameworks, such as the GRI Standards, the ISSB standards, SASB industry standards or, in the EU, the ESRS under the CSRD.
A regional utility published its first sustainability report. The safety chapter showed a three-year trend in TRIR for employees and contractors, its life-saving rules program and the results of its fatigue risk management rollout.
For some large companies in certain jurisdictions, yes. Many others publish voluntarily.
Assurance is an independent review of reported data, similar to a financial audit, giving readers more confidence.
There is no set length. Focus on material topics and clear, comparable data.
