It enables stakeholders to measure and evaluate an organization's ESG performance, which can help to build trust, credibility, and transparency. • Risk Management:Sustainability reporting helps organizations identify and manage risks related to ESG issues. It allows organizations to understand the impact of their operations on the environment and society, as well as the potential impact of external factors, such as climate change or social unrest.  • Improved Performance: Sustainability reporting can drive positive change within an organization. By monitoring and reporting on ESG metrics, organizations can identify areas for improvement and implement initiatives to reduce and improve their negative impact. • Competitive Advantage:Sustainability reporting can provide a competitive advantage.
