Sustainability Risk Management Assessments
Companies are under increasing pressure from customers, business partners, consumers, and employees to manage and report on their sustainability performance. Publicly-traded companies also experience this pressure from shareholders and the financial markets. Companies will miss potential business opportunity and increase risk by underestimating these requests and failing to provide meaningful sustainability information. As an example, multinational corporations measuring and reporting their own Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions are seeking similar reporting from their supply chain, and are basing business opportunities on the reporting results. This is driven by investor and customer pressure, and pending legislation that will ultimately lead to GHG emission limits requiring transformation of business fundamentals.
