At COP29, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) unveiled new ESG Implementation Principles to help organizations navigate the complex Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) landscape. These guidelines aim to simplify compliance with disclosure requirements and improve the measurement, reporting, and communication of sustainability efforts.
ESG regulations have surged by 155% globally in the last decade, creating a challenging landscape for consistent reporting across different jurisdictions, company sizes, and sectors. The ESG Implementation Principles provide a standardized structure for effective and transparent sustainability practices, applicable to all organizations—from small businesses to multinational corporations.
