Sustainable Business Handbook
Monitor and Report
Monitoring and reporting are crucial for tracking progress against sustainability priorities and targets. Businesses should develop internal tools to measure performance against key performance indicators (KPIs) aligned with their strategy. These tools provide insights to inform decision-making and drive action.
Keep it simple—focus on priority areas where the business can make the most impact. Avoid overcomplicating processes and ensure reporting tools are user-friendly and aligned with resources. Regularly review performance to identify successes and address gaps.
For external reporting, align disclosures with frameworks like GRI or CDP to meet stakeholder and regulatory expectations. Transparent reporting builds credibility and accountability. Start with concise reports focused on key priorities, and expand over time as the strategy evolves, ensuring internal and external audiences understand progress and commitment.
