Developing an actionable ESG plan starts with a durable and sustainable business strategy. It’s about how you improve your operational, asset and supply chain performance, and how you report this in a transparent way to inspire trust in your company. By setting the right ESG goals and reporting on progress, your company can demonstrate performance to your customers, investors, banks and important stakeholders. Ultimately, this will help you in reaching your long-term business goals and contribute to a more sustainable future.

New stringent environmental, social and governance (ESG) regulations, and changes in both consumer behaviour and preferences are two of the main drivers for this. DNV’s newest report on sustainable food systems looks at these evolutions and describes the benefits and opportunities for companies to start thinking of the ESG dimensions as interconnected entities rather than separate aspects of sustainability.
ESG reporting – assessing for the future
