Certification Benefits
Achieving external certification provides transparency to your customers and supply chain, it is not just you saying what you are doing, it has been verified by external auditors.
The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive(CSRD) is part of an EU law that requires companies to disclose information about how they address social and environmental challenges.
If you don’t fall under the reporting scope of the CSRD just now, you will likely still be affected if you are part of the supply chain of a larger organization as they will be reporting on their entire value chain, including you!
1 in 4 workers say they would search for a new job if their employer had a poor history with environmental performance and 65% of employees are more likely to work for a business with sustainability certification.
Products making ESG-related claims averaged 28 percent cumulative growth over the past five-year period, versus 20 percent for products that made no such claims.
As ESG investing has emerged as a competitive alternative to socially responsible investing, investors are increasingly searching for forward-looking metrics as a means of assessing portfolio risk beyond traditional financial measures.
