Why This Matters
Discover the first-of-its-kind guide to sustainability financial disclosure. “Our research found a surprising disparity in how U.S. publicly traded companies treat sustainability in financial reports,” says PracticalESG.com Editor Lawrence Heim. This Compendium highlights how companies report—or fail to report—the financial returns of their sustainability programs, with excerpts from over 100 U.S. public companies.
It also provides actionable guidance on metrics and insights you can generate from existing sustainability data, giving investors, analysts and corporate teams a clear, reliable view that AI alone can’t replicate.
