Corporate Sustainability Performance, Reporting, & Assurance

Profit maximization has given way to generating shareholder wealth as the primary goal of commercial enterprises. In light of recent innovations in corporate sustainability, this goal has shifted in recent years to producing shareholder value while preserving the interests of other non-shareholding stakeholders such as creditors, consumers, workers, suppliers, society, and the environment.

Corporations are widening their performance to include both financial/quantitative economic performance (ESP) and non-financial/qualitative environmental, ethical, social, and governance (EESG) sustainability performance in order to effectively attain this new goal. Reporting ESP and EESG sustainability performance necessitate the adoption of a new integrated corporate reporting regime. The number of public firms globally that report sustainability performance statistics has lately expanded dramatically to more than 8,000, and more than 6,000 European companies will be forced to do so beginning in 2017. This upward trend in sustainability reporting and certification is projected to continue globally. Assurance providers must ensure the dependability and integrity of these integrated sustainability reports.
