How it is applied must be clearly described in the report, and the result will be subject to audit.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once the material matters for the enterprises are identified, they are associated with the related reporting standards to determine what type of information should be reported &#8211; quantitative indicators and qualitative information (narrative type).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The result of this assessment often shows similar ESG reporting matters and topics for each individual industry, but <strong>there are always different nuances unique to the particular enterprise<\/strong> and the conditions in which it operates.<br>Example: A company that operates an agricultural business in a region at risk of drought would report on this risk and what measures it would take. Another agribusiness of similar size operating in a different region where no such risk exists would not report such information.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>One of the biggest challenges of this type of reporting is that it addresses impacts, risks, and opportunities from the company&#8217;s direct operations and those arising from the actors in its value chain (partners, suppliers, customers, end-users, regulators and others).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-spacer stk-block-spacer stk--no-padding stk-block stk-8ba4be4\" data-block-id=\"8ba4be4\"><style>.stk-8ba4be4{height:36px !important}<\/style><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is NOT so familiar about ESG reporting?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>According to European reporting standards, what information is less known, or companies are not prepared to present it in a systematic and auditable format?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We will explain that through examples, which are not trying to achieve comprehensiveness due to the large volume of European standards but aim to guide companies on <strong>the approach they would choose in the data collection organization.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-spacer stk-block-spacer stk--no-padding stk-block stk-08ad1d1\" data-block-id=\"08ad1d1\"><style>.stk-08ad1d1{height:35px !important}<\/style><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-icon-label stk-block-icon-label stk-block stk-041cff1\" data-block-id=\"041cff1\"><style>.stk-041cff1{margin-bottom:31px !important}<\/style><div class=\"stk-row stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-icon stk-block-icon has-text-align-left stk-block stk-cdb5767\" data-block-id=\"cdb5767\"><style>.stk-cdb5767 .stk--svg-wrapper .stk--inner-svg svg:last-child{opacity:0.7 !important}.stk-cdb5767 .stk--svg-wrapper .stk--inner-svg svg:last-child,.stk-cdb5767 .stk--svg-wrapper .stk--inner-svg svg:last-child :is(g,path,rect,polygon,ellipse){fill:#f6891f !important}<\/style><span class=\"stk--svg-wrapper\"><div class=\"stk--inner-svg\"><svg style=\"height:0;width:0\"><defs><linearGradient id=\"linear-gradient-cdb5767\" x1=\"0\" x2=\"100%\" y1=\"0\" y2=\"0\"><stop offset=\"0%\" style=\"stop-opacity:1;stop-color:var(--linear-gradient-cdb-5767-color-1)\"><\/stop><stop offset=\"100%\" style=\"stop-opacity:1;stop-color:var(--linear-gradient-cdb-5767-color-2)\"><\/stop><\/linearGradient><\/defs><\/svg><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 64 512\" aria-hidden=\"true\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\"><path d=\"M64 64c0-17.7-14.3-32-32-32S0 46.3 0 64V320c0 17.7 14.3 32 32 32s32-14.3 32-32V64zM32 480a40 40 0 1 0 0-80 40 40 0 1 0 0 80z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/div><\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-b68ac20\" id=\"the-most-labor-intensive-information-for-businesses-to-organize-and-make-available-is-that-associated-with-climate-change-or-climate-for-short-this-topic-often-comes-up-as-a-material-one-for-businesses-that-are-involved-in-production-activities-mainly-because-of-the-amounts-of-energy-and-fuel-consumed-br\" data-block-id=\"b68ac20\"><p class=\"stk-block-heading__text\">The most labor-intensive information for businesses to organize and make available is that associated with &#8222;Climate Change&#8220; or &#8222;Climate&#8220; for short.
