There was an annual increase of almost 50%more companies disclosed climate plans via CDP in 2023.

Challenges 

A robust Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) rating is a pivotal differentiator, elevating brand reputation, mitigating risks, and driving sustainable growth. 

This rating, measuring companies’ Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) commitment and performance, is increasingly important for investors, clients, and consumers. Many companies seek them voluntarily as part of a broader strategy to improve their performance in both sustainability and the market. 

Yet, companies face challenges navigating complex frameworks, ensuring robust data management, benchmarking performance, aligning strategy, and maintaining transparent reporting.
