At SETs, we are committed to supporting businesses on their journey toward sustainable growth and responsible operations. Our ESG Reporting service empowers organizations to measure, manage, and communicate their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance, helping them build trust with stakeholders, reduce risks, and enhance long-term value.
What is ESG Reporting?
Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) reporting is the practice of disclosing a company’s sustainability performance in these three critical areas. As stakeholders—including investors, customers, regulators, and employees—demand greater transparency, ESG reporting has become a vital tool for demonstrating responsible business practices and ensuring alignment with global sustainability goals.
- Environmental (E): This aspect of ESG focuses on a company's impact on the planet. It includes energy use, carbon emissions, waste management, water usage, and environmental protection efforts.
- Social (S): The social dimension covers how a company manages relationships with employees, suppliers, customers, and communities. It includes issues such as labor practices, diversity and inclusion, health and safety, and community engagement.
- Governance (G): Governance relates to the internal systems, practices, and policies that guide a company’s leadership and ethics. It includes corporate governance, executive compensation, transparency, accountability, and compliance with legal standards.

Our Approach to ESG Reporting
- Materiality Assessment: We begin by identifying the ESG issues most relevant to your business and its stakeholders. This involves evaluating industry trends, stakeholder concerns, and regulatory requirements to ensure your report addresses the topics that matter most.
- Data Collection and Analysis: ESG reporting is data-driven, and our team assists in gathering and analyzing the necessary environmental, social, and governance metrics. Whether it’s energy consumption, waste management, diversity data, or corporate governance practices, we ensure accurate and reliable reporting.
- Benchmarking and Goal Setting: We compare your ESG performance against industry benchmarks and best practices. Based on the results, we help set achievable ESG goals that align with global standards such as the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), and the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB).
- Report Preparation: Once the data is gathered and analyzed, we prepare a clear, transparent, and comprehensive ESG report. The report is designed to meet the requirements of various reporting frameworks such as GRI, SASB, CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project), and others, ensuring compliance and credibility.
- Stakeholder Engagement: ESG reporting is not just about compliance—it's about building trust. We help you communicate your ESG performance effectively to key stakeholders, including investors, customers, regulators, and employees. By aligning your reporting with recognized standards and demonstrating progress, we help position your organization as a leader in sustainability.
Benefits of ESG Reporting:
- Enhanced Transparency: ESG reporting allows your company to be more open about its impact, fostering trust and strengthening relationships with key stakeholders.
- Risk Management: ESG data helps identify and mitigate risks associated with environmental regulations, social issues, and governance failures, making your business more resilient.
- Access to Capital: Many investors now incorporate ESG factors into their decision-making process. Strong ESG performance can improve your company’s access to capital and attract socially responsible investors.
- Improved Brand Reputation: A well-executed ESG report demonstrates a commitment to sustainability, social responsibility, and ethical governance, which can enhance your brand’s reputation and appeal to conscious consumers.
- Regulatory Compliance: With increasing regulations and reporting requirements globally, ESG reporting helps ensure your company meets legal and regulatory standards.

Why ESG Matters for Business Success:
In today’s business environment, sustainability is no longer optional. Investors, regulators, and consumers increasingly expect companies to take responsibility for their environmental and social impacts while upholding strong governance standards. ESG reporting is not just about meeting these expectations—it’s about leading in sustainability, improving operational efficiency, and creating long-term value.
By integrating ESG factors into your business strategy and reporting on them transparently, you can unlock new growth opportunities, manage risks effectively, and build a more resilient and future-proof organization.
