06 / Sustainability Reporting & Disclosure
From complex data to credible disclosure
Credible disclosure depends on the governance and information system operating behind the report.
The Challenge
A sustainability report may appear to be a communications product, but credible disclosure depends on a much larger governance and information system operating behind it.
Information must be collected from multiple owners, calculated using appropriate methodologies, validated, documented, reviewed and translated into disclosures aligned with reporting standards and stakeholder expectations.
My Role
I have led sustainability disclosure processes spanning environmental performance, greenhouse gas emissions, ESG metrics and climate-related information.
My work covers the reporting lifecycle — from data collection and methodology development through internal controls, documentation, stakeholder coordination, executive reporting and final disclosure.
My Approach

Requirements
Identify applicable reporting standards, disclosure expectations and required metrics.
02
Ownership
Establish responsibility for data collection, validation, review and approval.
03
Data
