ESG Reporting

Ensure your business can meet regulations, track progress, identify potential opportunities and risks, and act in the best interest of your stakeholders.
With ESG reporting, you can show how your business is performing against the milestones and targets defined in your strategy.
Reporting – whether mandatory or voluntary – is gaining momentum. More than 90 percent of S&P 500 companies now publish ESG reports in some form, and around 70 percent of Russell 1000 companies.1
If you haven’t started reporting yet, or if you need to review your current processes, don’t worry. The expert team at NSF can guide you from the start of the process and support you annually as you strive for improved ratings. We can help you with:
ESG reporting needs assessment
We’ll guide you on the best way to structure your annual self-produced ESG reports. We’ll interview key stakeholders, review your company strategy, and analyze reporting schemes (e.g., CDP, Global Reporting Initiative (GRI)). We’ll recommend the right framework according to your internal or external reporting needs.
Corporate sustainability reporting
Collecting and summarizing data points and writing content for your annual ESG report(s) can be quite challenging. Our experts can help you produce your annual company report. We can advise on the key indicators to emphasize, the messaging that should emerge, and manage the collection of data and content. We can write the report, include framework indicators, and provide feedback once it’s been reviewed by stakeholders including brand, and legal.
ESG reporting frameworks
We can help you complete reports for specific frameworks or standards. We’ll also identify opportunities to improve your scoring or rating if applicable. NSF experts have experience and expertise with reporting to CDP, TCFD, SASB, Ecovadis, CSDDD, GRI, EUDR, and CSRD.
ESG reporting Gap Assessment
If you’d like an expert review of your self-produced report or one that addresses a particular framework or standard (e.g., CDP), we can recommend how to improve, and how to best enhance your score. We can review the overall data or content or compare it against best practices.
As an alternative, we can also offer NSF verification services to validate your results.
