Never before have companies been under such pressure to manage their businesses in a more sustainable way. Consumers want to shop for sustainable brands, investors are looking for more sustainable initiatives-even employees want to make sure the companies they work for embed sustainability into the core of what they do. And of course, there are pressures from regulators who demand that companies report on their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives-for example, the European Union recently adopted two pieces of legislation that mandate rigorous ESG disclosures for the benefit of investors. The SEC also announced it will extend mandatory company reporting into the realm of ESG.
