ESG | ARKK

Environmental, social and governance (ESG) digital tagging is the process of applying electronic tags to data to make sustainability reports machine-readable. The digital tags allow easy tracking and evaluation of a businesses ESG performance over time, which is essential for the users of reports to allow them to track and evaluate a businesses ESG performance. The digital footprint of a business's sustainability report will be under significant scrutiny due to the ease of comparability of data, meaning the accuracy of tagging is crucial.

Does it affect me?

Mandated ESG reporting is being phased in across many jurisdictions over the coming years. Large businesses will initially be in scope with medium and small business following. However, in the current environment if your business aims to attract investment and enhance its corporate reputation digital ESG reporting is recommended. Stakeholders are progressively scrutinising businesses ESG metrics, meaning robust ESG reporting is becoming an important part of corporate strategy.

What do I need to do?

To align with ESG standards, your business needs to track, manage, and report on various ESG criteria. This includes environmental impact, social contributions and governance practices. Legislation will require many business to adopt one of the ESG reporting frameworks such as ESRS, ISSB or SECR which will require digital tagging. ARKK are experienced at interpreting new taxonomies and guiding business to apply the correct tags to reports.

What's the deadline?

ESG reporting deadlines vary based on regulatory requirements and stakeholder demands. Typically, annual reports incorporate ESG metrics, aligning with your fiscal year-end. It's crucial to stay updated on evolving regulations and standards to ensure timely and compliant disclosures.
