Mapping the sustainability reporting landscape: Lost in the right direction

While there is much agreement in what different reporting initiatives seek to achieve, there is also a sense of confusion and fragmentation.

We are headed in the right direction but can, at times, appear lost in a multiplicity of standards and frameworks.

This report, Mapping the sustainability reporting landscape: Lost in the right direction, analyses the current state of play and proposes terminology, tools and approaches for charting routes through the landscape.

The report examines:

• the changing nature of corporate reporting
• the components that make up the sustainability reporting landscape
• the challenges facing sustainability reporting
• proposals for bringing order to sustainability reporting.
