ESG reporting is the collection and analysis of data on an organization’s environmental, social and governance (ESG) standards, crucial information for socially conscious investors.

Environmental, social and governance (ESG) reporting is increasingly in the forefront as socially conscious investors, stakeholders and organizations include these factors in their analysis of business and organizations. As Alberta adds to its energy sector with sustainable production such as solar and wind, and carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS), organizations need a strategic approach to their ESG reporting.
