ERM, the world’s largest sustainable fair play consultancy, has been named the best in ‘Reporting Matters 2023’, an annual review of corporate reporting on sustainable development developed by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD).

The review is designed to improve the effectiveness of corporate sustainability reporting by providing guidance and demonstrating best practice. For the fifth consecutive year, ERM is one of a select group of companies recognized by WBCSD as setting standards for transparent and effective sustainability reporting. ERM’s latest sustainability report provides comprehensive insight into how the company is increasing its impact on the climate, nature and social challenges facing society.

This year’s edition of WBCSD’s reporting issues, entitled “Delivering Impact in a Time of Complexity,” introduces an evaluation framework that aims to balance compliance requirements with the need to increase the value of reporting to drive positive change. The new framework builds on the latest developments in sustainability reporting led by global standard setting bodies and government agencies such as the ISSB, EFRAG and the SEC.

Sabine Hoefnagel, Global Head of Sustainability and Risk at ERM, said: “At ERM, our sustainability reporting is built on the principles of transparency, accountability and impact, and we are delighted to be recognized by the WBCSD for our efforts.”

“By continually striving for best practice in our reporting, we are well positioned to help our clients navigate this era of evolving disclosure requirements and growing stakeholder expectations, with the ultimate goal of driving the sustainability actions needed to accelerate the journey to net zero”.
