Sustainability accounting is about capturing meaningful non-financial information for both internal decision-making and external reporting. Reliable and comparable data is the basis for accountability and it is fundamental to align the sustainability accounting with established frameworks and standards. It is important to follow reporting principles and conceptual foundations to build trust and comparability over time and within the industry.
Sustainability reporting is moving from a fragmented landscape of voluntary frameworks and standards (GRI, SASB, TCFD, CDP, IR, etc.) to mandatory reporting enforceable by law in the respective jurisdictions. To understand the current evolution and the role of the voluntary reporting frameworks in the emerging mandatory reporting landscape, we start with an overview of the most commonly used frameworks.
