Stakeholder engagement requires identifying who needs what type of sustainability information. An ESG report can be as simple as interpreting the materiality data so that the reader can understand the scope, the business context, why an issue is considered material, performance over time, reasons for good or poor performance and planned actions.
It is important to use neutral language to build trust. Do not overstate achievements and only highlight positive aspects. The report should be balanced and accurate.
It is good practice to include:
- An introductory statement from the CEO setting out the overall content
- Stakeholder engagement
- Materiality matrix
- Outcome of each topic over time and normalised values in graph format
- Comments on each topic – actions taken, next steps, etc.
- References to the framework used in an index format
- Examples of employee engagement
- Overall narrative on impact created
The ideal outcome is to present the sustainability report as an integrated part of the annual report.
