FEE issues guide on sustainability reporting frameworks
30 May 2011
The Sustainability Group of the Federation of European Accountants (FEE) has issued a guide to commonly used sustainability reporting guidance documents when considering the identification and use of environmental, social and governance (ESG) indicators.
The guidance documents selected by the FEE were based on relevance, involvement of European accountancy national institutions, international applicability, and range of technical observations at the international level. Due to a lack of consistency between the documents, FEE suggests a need to find a common methodology on how to use the various documents. In order to reduce the risk of missing material and relevant key performance indicators when deciding what information should be reported, FEE recommends an entity should use the following criteria: relevance, materiality, consistency and reliability.
