Heads Up — #DeloitteESGnow — The ESG Regulatory Whirlwind: Accountability on the Horizon
This Heads Up discusses the increasing importance of providing consistent, comparable, and transparent disclosures about environmental, social, and governance (ESG) matters. Companies should begin to prepare themselves for mandatory climate-related and other ESG disclosures, since this regulated landscape for ESG disclosures will differ significantly from the current landscape of voluntary reporting. In the forthcoming regulatory environment, it will be essential for companies to improve the completeness, accuracy, and reliability of their ESG-related disclosures by employing sound governance, oversight, and data-management processes and controls.
