What is ESG reporting?

Why is ESG reporting important?

ESG reporting demonstrates transparency, accountability, and climate resilience to investors and other stakeholders. As environmental risks escalate, precise disclosures on environmental impact and governance are critical.

Robust ESG reporting mitigates risk, unlocks capital, builds trust, and ensures alignment with global frameworks like TNFD and CSRD.

What is ESG reporting used for?

ESG reporting allows companies to communicate how they manage environmental, social, and governance risks and impacts. It provides transparency for investors, regulators, customers, and other stakeholders, demonstrating responsible business practices and long-term value creation.

ESG reporting is increasingly used to track and disclose nature-related issues such as biodiversity loss, land use, and ecosystem change. These insights are becoming essential for aligning with emerging global frameworks (including CSRD and TNFD), accessing sustainable finance, and supporting strategic decision-making.

Common ESG reporting standards

  • TNFD (Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures): The definitive framework for disclosing nature-related risks and opportunities using the LEAP approach.

  • CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive): A comprehensive regulation impacting US multinationals with EU operations. It mandates precision disclosures on biodiversity and land use, driving global compliance standards.

  • SBTN (Science Based Targets for Nature): Empowers organizations to set  measure, science-based targets for reducing nature-related impacts.

  • GRI (Global Reporting Initiative): The most widely adopted ESG standard for transparency. It provides specific metrics on biodiversity (e.g. GRI 304) to meet growing stakeholder and investor expectations.

  • ISSB (International Sustainability Standards Board): The global baseline for sustainability disclosure. Built on TCFD and SASB principles, it standardizes nature-related financial data to unlock access to capital and satisfy investor demands.

How is a materiality assessment conducted for ESG reporting?

A materiality assessment pinpoints the ESG issues most critical to an organization and its stakeholders. It ensures the ESG reporting platform targets the risks, opportunities, and impacts that drive long-term value:

  • Stakeholder engagement – consulting investors, employees, customers, and regulators to define  their priorities
  • Impact mapping – assessing how operations affect nature, people, and long-term business performance
  • Risk and opportunity analysis – identifying financially material environmental or social exposures
  • Prioritisation – ranking issues based on stakeholder relevance  and strategic alignment
  • Disclosure alignment – mapping findings to global  frameworks like CSRD, GRI, or TNFD

Gentian empowers this process by providing precise nature data to inform environmental materiality assessments.

FAQs

Is ESG reporting mandatory?

While federal mandates evolve, investor pressure and state-level regulations (like California’s climate laws) are creating market requirements for ESG reporting. For US multinationals, EU regulations like CSRD are binding. Globally, frameworks like ISSB and TNFD are becoming the standard for accessing capital. Even where voluntary, robust reporting is essential to meet investor expectations and demonstrate resilience.



In the EU, the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) makes ESG reporting mandatory for thousands of companies, including some non-EU firms operating in Europe.

Globally, frameworks like the ISSB and TNFD are gaining regulatory traction. Even where not yet mandatory, many companies choose to report voluntarily to meet investor expectations, prepare for future regulations, and demonstrate leadership on sustainability.

What are the obstacles in ESG data collection and reporting?

Key challenges include data fragmentation, lack of asset-level visibility, and difficulty linking nature risk to financial materiality. Many organizations struggle with fragmented data estimates or lack internal expertise. Gentian eliminates these barriers by delivering precision nature data—fully aligned with TNFD and ready for enterprise integration.

How does ESG reporting differ from Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)?

CSR is typically philanthropic and values-driven. ESG reporting is quantitative and risk-based. It informs investors about financial materiality, operational resilience, and performance. ESG embeds nature risk into core business strategy, validated by evidence and frameworks like TNFD or SASB.

What is 'greenwashing' and how can robust ESG reporting help avoid it?

Greenwashing is the misrepresentation of environmental impact, carrying significant reputational and litigation risk. Robust ESG reporting mitigates this by grounding claims in verifiable, science-based nature data. Transparent, data-backed disclosures build trust and satisfy investor due diligence.

How can Gentian help get you started with ESG reporting if you're new to it?

Gentian delivers actionable nature intelligence tailored for ESG reporting. We establish your biodiversity baseline, identify material opportunities, and align outputs with frameworks like TNFD and CSRD. Our experts guide interpretation, building the confidence to disclose nature risk and value.
