With responsible investment on the rise, environmental, social and governance (ESG) data, reporting standards and guidelines have grown exponentially in the last decade. While their quality is improving, the lack of standardisation has not made it easy for companies to navigate the complexities around ESG disclosures. At the same time, the communications between companies and investors remain dominated by short-term vision, leading to a common failure of both sides to discuss ESG issues.
Are you experiencing these challenges within your organisation, or perhaps you've found a way to bridge the gap between IR and CR?
As part of Corporate Citizenship’s Long-Term Value Project we are conducting a short survey to help understand and address the latest developments in responsible investing. We are particularly interested in hearing from those in the IR, Sustainability and CR departments. This survey should take no longer than 10 minutes to complete and answers will be anonymous.
For more information on this topic you might like to read our research report entitled 'How to demonstrate the value of sustainable business to investors' created in association with S&P Dow Jones Indices.
If you would like to join us at the e4i: ESG for Investment conference in September you can receive a 10% discount on tickets with the code CCB10. Corporate Citizenship's Associate Director Esther Toth will be speaking on the topic of SRI Communications - come and say hello if you're there.
