Why?

Facilities intending to implement SDG / ESG reporting & disclosure are required to undertake the following:

This shall ensure a proper assessment and exposure related to stakeholders from all types internal and external.
  • Measure Performance: The facility should identify existing commitments to establish a baseline. Thereafter, the facility should establish procedures to determine whether the facility’s actions match its public goals, the standards set by industry leaders and the frameworks established by third parties that the company has committed to or is required to follow. By doing so, the facility will be able identify any vulnerabilities in order to mitigate potential legal and reputational risks.
  • Monitor internal disclosures and commitments: The facility should monitor its disclosures and commitments, recognizing that these statements can appear in a variety of formal communications such as sustainability reports and corporate responsibility reports, as well as informal communications such communications to employees, social media posts, media interviews and website postings. Thereafter, the facility should have a procedure in place to monitor disclosures of the company as well as that of peer firms.
  • Consider statements like all other public statements: Statements made publicly should be vetted for factual accuracy and context in the same way as any other disclosure statements and reports.
  • Educate employees on the risks associated with disclosures: The facility should ensure that employees responsible for preparing and updating disclosures are sensitized to risks associated with public disclosures and to the importance of ensuring that statements are consistent with the company’s description of its business & periodic reports.
