Transcending boundaries: Lifting the game in sustainability reporting
As the year draws to a close, Singapore Compact’s Christopher Ang takes stock of corporate sustainability and explores two issues which he says will have the greatest impact on businesses in the coming years: climate change and sustainability reporting. On climate change, he urges companies to work towards greater reduction of carbon emissions, more efficient use of resources, and waste management, and above all to continue seeking new opportunities as the world looks for ways to cope. Discussing sustainability reporting and communications, and recognising the increasing expectations of customers, consumers, investors and governments, Mr Ang advises businesses to adapt quickly to a world demanding total transparency if they are to maintain trust.
