The notion that investors should use environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations to inform their decision-making is having a moment. This is undoubtedly a good thing for those who believe that just and sustainable business has an essential role to play in the creation of a more equitable future. However, there is a risk of fundamental concepts getting lost in the process. One of these concepts is the responsibility of business and institutional investors to respect human rights.

We are experiencing a profound shift in stakeholder expectations and business growth strategy: sustainability is more important than ever before. Younger, high-growth companies — those that either are privately held or recently went public — face unique challenges and opportunities as they expand business while also considering environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors, be it climate change, privacy, diversity, or a range of other material issues.

“The sustainability reporting landscape is undergoing a transformation” has been a sustainability truism for years now, but the chorus promoting this adage is growing stronger, louder, and more convincing. Why?

We’re finally starting to see tangible change. The International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC) and Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) have merged into the Value Reporting Foundation. They and three other sustainability reporting bodies — CDP, Climate Disclosure Standards Board (CDSB) and Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), known as the Group of Five — have called for closer coordination and launched a prototype climate-related financial disclosure standard.
