Sustainability Reports

Having a well-articulated and concrete sustainability report is a powerful tool for listed companies to demonstrate their commitment and responsibility for sustainability issues. A credible sustainability report can strengthen a company's reputation, attract potential investors and support long-term strategies. In addition, a strong sustainability report contributes to openness and transparency, which in turn can help improve relations with stakeholders.

The EU has introduced several sustainability requirements for major listed companies. This includes the integration of the EU taxonomy and the upcoming Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) framework to increase transparency and combat greenwashing. These new guidelines will require companies to disclose more comprehensive and detailed information on their sustainability performance and risks.

AVA can provide strategic planning and implementation of sustainability reporting, advice on sustainability frameworks and regulations, production of sustainability reports in both print and digital formats, design and layout of your sustainability report, and text production for the sustainability report. We can also guide you in the process of meeting the requirements of the EU taxonomy and CSRD.

These frameworks and standards have been developed to provide companies with a structured and standardized approach to reporting their sustainability efforts and performance. They cover different areas such as environment, social responsibility, corporate governance and more. Following these frameworks can help companies communicate their sustainability efforts in a more consistent, credible and comparable way.

For listed companies in the EU, there are specific requirements governing sustainability reporting. This includes the new EU framework, the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), which requires companies to report on their sustainability impacts and risks. In addition, there are other standards and frameworks, such as GRI, SBTi, SDGs and TCFD, which are often used to give further direction and structure to sustainability reporting. With our expertise and knowledge of these requirements, we at AVA can help your company meet all relevant requirements and regulations.

A good sustainability report starts with a clear strategy and a deep understanding of the company's sustainability goals and operations. The report should clearly communicate how the company manages sustainability risks and what steps it is taking to reduce its environmental impact. In addition, the report should be engaging and easy to understand, with clear headings, graphics and visualizations to help convey the information. Finally, the report should be credible, based on verified data and in line with applicable laws and regulations.

At AVA, we design a comprehensive, customized approach for each sustainability report we create. We start by thoroughly understanding our clients' sustainability goals, strategies and operations. We then analyze this data and create a report structure that effectively communicates this information to relevant stakeholders. We then work with our clients through every step of the reporting process, including drafting and proofing the text, as well as design and layout.
