CSE research on Sustainability Reporting Trends presented in NYC to FT 500 Executives

Canada specific findings to be presented next in Toronto to mining, pharmaceutical, and energy executives.

CSE research has identified positive links between having a sustainability strategy, goals and reports to having improved financial performance.  CSE closely tracks sustainability reporting trends in Canada and the USA.  CSE’s Sustainability Reporting Trends in North America 2017, along with last year’s findings on Silicon Valley, represent an ongoing commitment to provide timely and relevant sustainability content for C-level and upper management to corporations around the world.

Findings were presented in New York City during CSE’s Global Certified Sustainability Practitioner Program.  The encouraging findings were welcomed by VPs from companies and organizations as diverse as Xylem, Coca-Cola, L’Oréal, HD Supply and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Next, CSE will present findings specific to Canada this October in Toronto.

Important insights include:
*  most significantly, those companies with the highest sustainability rankings had better financial performance than companies with lower sustainability rankings based on CSRhub ratings, and
* poor adoption of the United Nations Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs).  Only 6.2% of the companies in the study integrated SDGs in their sustainability reports.
