In this session, panelists will discuss the importance of disclosure, transparency and the communication of ESG goals and company progress towards them, including the impact that ESG policies have on both company’s internal performance and wider society. Panelists will explore the challenges & hindrances of ESG reporting and responsible investment, as well as the solutions and ways forward. Why is there a need for a standard approach for reporting on ESG topics? What are the challenges ahead and the inevitable path towards interlinking sustainability with financial reporting? Do reporting figures match with the reality on the ground? How can companies find the right balance between short-term performance requirements and the investments needed to meet longer-term ESG goals? How can ESG be embedded in corporate strategy as a prerequisite for successful deployment? As climate change increasingly affects the ability to deliver sustained profits, what will a successful ESG approach look like?
The CGF’s Sustainable Supply Chain Initiative (SSCI) distinguishes itself as more than a standard or certification scheme for social compliance. Instead, its objective is to align various schemes based on industry-defined sustainability expectations. It provides clear guidance to buyers and suppliers on which schemes cover essential sustainability requirements and implement appropriate governance and verification practices. Join panelists to learn how achieving SSCI Recognition demonstrates a commitment to elevating certification standards, fostering harmonization, and promoting alignment across the consumer goods industry.
