Key points to note
- Disclosure principles: Must adhere to the principles of “substantial materiality, consistency, comparability, and transparency,” and avoid “greenwashing” (false disclosure or exaggeration of ESG performance).
- Data source: Clear statistical standards are required (such as the calculation standards for emission data). Some companies will choose third-party auditing agencies to improve credibility.
- Trend: Global ESG disclosure is shifting from “voluntary” to “mandatory,” especially for listed companies and multinational corporations, who need to plan for compliance.
