ESG Compliance
Companies disclose information so that their ESG progress can be measured against benchmarks and targets. Companies also measure ESG metrics to improve their ability to access capital from funders committed to sustainable investing.
Examples of the ESG-related risks that are measured are:
- Environmental: Climate change, green building certifications, greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), deforestation, biodiversity, waster efficiency, waste, and pollution.
- Social: Customer relations, employee relations, labor, employee wellbeing, community relations, health and safety, supply chains, human rights, and work-life balance.
- Governance: Board management practices, succession planning, equity and inclusion, diversity, compensation, regulatory compliance, fraud, data, security, and corruption.
NGBS Green certification is one important validation of a company’s commitment to sustainable business operations. The resources below can help your company collect ESG-related data when you commit to earning NGBS Green certification for your real property assets.
