The Importance of ESG in the Supply Chain
Sustainability reporting involves collecting, analyzing, and publishing information about a company's performance in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) areas. These reports detail the actions taken by the company in these areas and their impact on stakeholders such as investors, employees, local communities, and the natural environment.
ESG criteria are used to assess sustainable business operations and social responsibility.
- Integrating investment principles with ESG ensures that a company’s development decisions align with environmental, social, and governance standards.
