Internal benefits for companies and organizations can include:
• Increased understanding of risks and opportunities
• Emphasizing the link between financial and non-financial
performance
• Influencing long term management strategy and policy, and
business plans
• Streamlining processes, reducing costs and improving efficiency
• Benchmarking and assessing sustainability performance with
respect to laws, norms, codes, performance standards, and
voluntary initiatives
• Avoiding being implicated in publicized environmental, social and
governance failures
• Comparing performance internally, and between organizations and
sectors

employees are more likely to be satisfied
with their jobs if they are working for a
company that is perceived to be "green."
The financial performance of companies
fails to correlate with employee happiness.
Journal Reference:
Cassandra Walsh and Adam Sulkowski. both of the Charlton College of
Business at University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. A greener
company makes for happier employees more so than does a more
valuable one: a regression analysis of employee satisfaction, perceived
environmental performance and firm financial value. Int. Environ. Rev.,
2010, 11, 274-282 Source: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/02/110201101626.htm
External benefits of sustainability reporting can include:
• Mitigating – or reversing – negative environmental, social and
governance impacts
• Improving reputation and brand loyalty
• Enabling external stakeholders to understand the
organization’s true value, and tangible and intangible assets
• Demonstrating how the organization influences, and is
influenced by, expectations about sustainable development

institutional investors may apply more
differentiated and targeted strategies to
integrate ESG signals across asset
classes, markets and factor exposures.
