Sustainability Reporting Asia

The reporting of non-financial information (primarily environmental and social performance information) has been a response to the increased pressure on companies to be transparent and socially responsible. The international business community is no longer expected just to make profit, how that profit is made is also increasingly important to investors and stakeholders. Similarly, the trend for better corporate governance and accountability has focused attention on the responsibilities an organisation has towards all its stakeholder groups and to the environment and society in which it operates.

Many international investors look at a company’s CSR credentials and reporting can enable companies to access new markets. Sustainability reporting has increasingly become a business expectation in Europe, the United States of America, Japan and Australia. In an increasingly global environment, companies run the risk of losing business if they do not report.

In Singapore, it is likely that there will be increasing pressure on companies to report, especially those companies with overseas operations, overseas investments and/or overseas shareholders. Sustainability reporting aim to give recognition to those organisations that report and disclose environmental, social or full sustainability information, as well as to encourage the uptake of such reporting and raise awareness of corporate transparency issues.
