INTRODUCTION
The ESG alphabet soup as we know it is changing (for good)! The summer of
2023 saw unprecedented change and landmark decisions made in the
corporate sustainability reporting space - both in regulatory agendas and in the
convergence of the plethora of voluntary standards known informally as the
ever-confusing "alphabet soup." Despite the rise in mandatory climate and
emissions reporting, ESG reporting is set to become more straightforward for
sustainability practitioners due to the standard-setting activities of 2023 and the
significant drive towards interoperability between standard-setting bodies
we've seen in a matter of months. The proliferation of new regulations and
frameworks can be difficult for corporations and stakeholders to navigate. This
guide aims to help companies stay apprised of the latest changes and updates
in this space.

climate disclosure means, the nuanced roles of ESG and sustainability in firm
