Public companies in the U.S. are increasingly disclosing sustainability information, but many say they find it a challenge to report fundamental climate data that many regulators around the globe likely will require under incoming mandatory reporting standards.

While it is mostly public companies that face mandatory requirements, even private businesses face increased scrutiny of their sustainability and ESG policies from stakeholders including shareholders, eco-conscious consumers, suppliers, insurers and lenders.A weekly look at environmental, social and governance issues and strategies for corporate decision makers.

The two most popular standards used are a self-developed framework and the U.N. SGDs . The top three social and human capital issues, chosen by about a quarter of respondents, were supply-chain management; data security; and employee engagement, diversity and inclusion.

These demands are set to increase with incoming mandatory climate reporting requirements.
