Cartica's perspective on ESG in Emerging Markets

ESG REPORT CHECKLIST

(3-minute read)

Transparency is vital in highlighting your company’s ESG work to stakeholders and getting credit from the market for what you do. Yet, even with increasing demand for robust ESG reporting, understanding exactly what investors seek in ESG reporting can be challenging.

Cartica developed the below ESG Report Checklist as a guide for best practices in ESG disclosures and reporting. We hope this document will help companies with the often difficult task of disclosing ESG practices and policies, goals, and results. The checklist provides an efficient way to ensure ESG disclosures include the key information investors seek while adhering to ESG best-in-class practices.

Access the full checklist here (excerpt below), and contact Kate Ahern to learn more.
