To get started on ESG+ reporting, you can take the following steps:

1. Clarify why you are reporting, identifying the audience and any relevant ESG reporting frameworks for your sector.

2. Conduct a materiality assessment to determine and prioritise topics to report based on relevance and significance. Look at both the inside–out and the outside–in perspectives (i.e. double materiality).

3. Articulate your intended impact in a theory of change to support your move towards impact reporting.

4. Apply the Social Value Principles to assess your impact, recognising value is contextual. Understand where value is created or diminished from your stakeholders’ perspectives. Respect their voices and understand their context.

If you need assistance with your ESG+ reporting, get in touch to chat with one of our experts.
