New Collaboration between Wolters Kluwer Enablon and the Value Reporting Foundation offers Full Transparency into Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) Performance
September 23 2021 - 10:55AM
Reporting on environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance
is now easier for customers of Enablon. Enablon, a Wolters Kluwer
business, and the Value Reporting Foundation have signed an
agreement for the integration of the SASB Standards and SASB
Materiality Map® into the Enablon Vision platform. This agreement
enables customers to leverage the SASB framework for their ESG
reporting.
In a context of increased pressure and challenges on sustainable
performance, reporting against proven frameworks and standards with
full transparency is key for businesses in providing investors and
other stakeholders with transparent and up-to-date information that
impact investment decisions.
Strength in Numbers
SASB Standards are available for 77 industries across 11
sectors. The Standards address five dimensions of
sustainability:
- Environment
- Human capital
- Social capital
- Business model and innovation
- Leadership and governance
SASB Standards identify the subset of ESG issues most relevant
to financial performance in each of 77 industries, highlighting the
issues that matter most to investors. Each standard includes
disclosure topics and accounting metrics. The SASB Materiality Map®
is an interactive tool that identifies and compares disclosure
topics across different industries and sectors.
The Enablon Vision platform supports hundreds of global industry
leaders and millions of users to increase safety, manage
environmental performance, minimize risks, and improve
profitability and sustainability. Its clear assignment of
responsibilities for data contribution, validation, and final
sign-off establishes a coherent management system for complete and
reliable data. The platform also supports the analysis of the data
to support the development and implementation of sustainability
strategies.
Stronger Reporting
As an accredited Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) and certified
Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) solutions provider, the SASB
Materiality Map® and full SASB Standards license provides Enablon
customers with an additional framework to help report on their
sustainability performance according to the leading standards.
Rob Davis, Wolters Kluwer Enablon VP Product Management, said:
“The licensing agreement further strengthens Enablon’s position as
a global leader in Sustainability and ESG software and enables
customers to move further along in the growing trend of double
materiality assessment: being able to report both on enterprise
value and impact.”“We are glad to support Enablon’s use of the SASB
Standards and Materiality Map,” said Nicolai Lundy, the Value
Reporting Foundation’s Director of Partnerships & Market
Outreach. “By integrating these resources into its platform,
Enablon can offer its clients a powerful lens to see the subset of
ESG issues most likely to impact financial performance in each
industry.”
