Business beyond profit:
Governance for sustainable impact.
An Introduction to Sustainable Business Management
Strategic Advantage
Today, social and environmental integrity are as influential as shareholder value in business. Investors now consider non-financial indicators when assessing a company’s future. ESG principles and the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) guide companies in communicating impacts on climate, human rights, and corruption.
Responding to Reporting Requirements
In addition, companies face an increasing number of standards in these fields against them they need to report their own efforts. With the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), the European Union is implementing a major reporting framework that takes different elements of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) of the United Nation into account.
