ESG

5/5

With pressing global challenges like biodiversity loss, climate change, health crises, and inequality, sustainable practices must be driven by clear end goals.

Businesses face increasing scrutiny regarding their sustainability performance, and the desire to move beyond “greenwashing,” as has been highlighted in ciorcular economy is fueling the push for robust sustainability standards. However, confusion persists about the distinctions between standards, frameworks, rankings, and ratings, particularly their different approaches and purposes.

To clarify, the sustainability landscape can be broadly divided into two groups: organizations that publish standards and those that issue frameworks or guiding principles. While some organizations may engage in both activities, this distinction is helpful for understanding the field.

Standards represent a consensus on the acceptable level of quality for reporting requirements that organizations should meet. They provide specific, detailed criteria or metrics outlining what information should be reported on each topic.

Corporate reporting standards typically share key characteristics: a focus on public interest, independence, due process, and public consultation, which collectively enhance the reliability of the information requested.
