SUSTAINABILITY REPORT

85% of European investors considered ESG factors for their 2020 investments, with 68% of consumers preferring products and services with limited impact on the environment

Why is the Sustainability Report important for your company?

The Sustainability Report is a key strategic tool for companies of all sizes, including and especially SMEs, that want to navigate an increasingly complex world and create long-term value for all stakeholders. Drafting it requires commitment and resources, but the benefits of doing so are undeniable.

For SMEs, the process of writing a sustainability report can be challenging. For this reason, it is advisable to engage the services of an experienced consultant who can guide the company through all stages of the process, from defining the strategy to drafting the final report, working alongside a consultative process to write the document.

In a world increasingly attentive to ESG (Environment, Society, Governance) issues,
the Sustainability Report assumes a key role for companies that want to:

1. Communicate their commitment to sustainability in a comprehensive and transparent manner

– Preparing a report that is CSRD compliant (according to the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive) and conforms to ESRS EFRAG (European Sustainability Reporting Standards) demonstrates a willingness to operate responsibly and take into account a company’s impact on the environment, society and governance.

– This commitment translates into increased trust from investors, customers, employees, suppliers, local communities, and public institutions.

– A transparent and comprehensive Report can be distinctive in the marketplace, attract new customers and partners, and enhance corporate reputation.

2. Improve their ESG performance through a rigorous process

The Report writing process obliges companies to:

– Conduct a materiality analysis to identify the most significant ESG issues for the company and its stakeholders, using the materiality matrix and the principle of double materiality and also an analysis on environmental impact focusing in the various SCOPE 1,2,3.

– Set measurable goals and implement strategies to achieve them.

– Monitor progress and report results transparently.

– Through this rigorous process, the company can identify areas for improvement, reduce negative impact and maximize positive impact, creating value for all stakeholders.

3. Manage reputational risks and prevent negative events

Companies that are not committed to sustainability risk operational and reputational damage from adverse events such as environmental incidents, human rights violations, or governance problems.

A transparent Sustainability Report can help prevent or mitigate such risks, increasing stakeholder trust and business resilience.
