STANDARDIZING ESG REPORTING
We collaborate with others to drive consistency in disclosure and measurement of ESG issues. One of the many challenges related to using ESG data is the lack of consistent, standardized reporting of ESG information from companies. We believe that development in this area is crucial for creating a shared language around ESG and sustainability.
