Overview
ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) reporting standards provide structured frameworks for companies to disclose their sustainability performance. Major frameworks include GRI (Global Reporting Initiative), SASB (Sustainability Accounting Standards Board), and the newer ISSB (International Sustainability Standards Board). These standards help investors evaluate non-financial risks, compare companies, and make informed decisions. Mandatory ESG disclosure is becoming law in many jurisdictions, fundamentally changing corporate accountability.
