Environmental, Social and
Governance disclosures

Supporting businesses in navigating the dynamic disclosure landscape.

Helping businesses create long-term value

Stakeholders are increasingly interested in companies’ Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) strategy and performance.

What are ESG disclosures?

Investors and lenders use ESG data to guide responsible investment decisions. Employees use this data to assess company culture, and customers consider ESG criteria when purchasing products and services.

Companies can respond to this by providing consistent and transparent ESG reporting. ESG reporting increases transparency around company strategy and progress toward targets. It also offers a framework for action for businesses to build a robust ESG strategy and continue to improve year-on-year.

Which businesses need to complete ESG disclosures?

Some ESG disclosures are mandatory for certain large or premium-listed businesses, such as climate-related financial disclosures that are mandated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) like the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) or by the UK Government, such as Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR).

Some ESG disclosures are voluntary but demonstrate a business’s ESG activities, such as ESG Reporting as per the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) guidance.

Suppliers to the UK Government and NHS have to provide against Procurement Policy Note 002: The Social Value Model and Procurement Policy Note 006: Carbon Reduction Plans if they meet certain criteria.
