Think ESG reporting is too complex to begin? What if you didn’t need to be perfect?
ESG reporting is becoming essential for businesses, even in voluntary regimes like Armenia.
Here’s an expert-informed roadmap to get started:
1️⃣ Identify your objective and audience — Know why you’re reporting and who you’re writing for. A clear purpose shapes focus and structure.
2️⃣ Choose a framework or template — You can begin with GRI or SASB guidelines, or use clear external templates of sustainable global goals and principles. GRI’s Universal Standards have been widely respected and in use since 2023.
3️⃣ Focus on progress over perfection — Stakeholders value transparent, evolving efforts more than flawless reports.
4️⃣ Use materiality as your roadmap — Identify what matters most to your stakeholders for report structure and content.
5️⃣ Collect data and craft your narrative — Blend metrics with stories for credibility and clarity. Visuals help.
6️⃣ Think ahead; iterate — ESG reporting is a journey. Build momentum — refine next year based on feedback.
7️⃣ You don’t need a big team or perfect data — Just a plan, some honest numbers, and a story worth telling.
