SUSTAINABILITY REPORTING
May 2021
The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the focus on various environmental, social, and governance issues by investors, policy makers, and educators. Competing frameworks, absence of a standard, measurement uncertainty, different measures of materiality, inconsistent reporting methods, boilerplate language, and comparability are numerous challenges among others hindering the widespread adoption of sustainability reporting, and these challenges are somewhat interrelated.
