Beyond ESG - Implementing a Sustainability Management System (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9786299266105)

Beyond ESG Reporting: Implementing a Sustainability Management System is a practical guide for organisations that want to move beyond year-end ESG reporting and build a credible Sustainability Management System (SMS).

The book explains how sustainability can be embedded into governance, strategy, risk management, responsibilities, operational processes, controls, data management, internal audit, management review and continual improvement.

It can also be used as a practical learning and implementation guide for organisations seeking to understand and respond to major ESG and sustainability reporting requirements and frameworks, including IFRS S1, IFRS S2, the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), GRI, SASB, TCFD, TNFD, GHG Protocol and sustainability assurance requirements. Rather than treating these requirements as stand-alone reporting exercises, the book shows how they can be supported by a structured management system that produces reliable data, evidence and disclosures.

Using a practical Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) approach, it shows how organisations can:

• identify material sustainability matters, risks and opportunities;
• understand and implement relevant ESG and sustainability reporting requirements;
• establish clear governance, roles and accountability;
• integrate legal, regulatory, stakeholder and other requirements;
• develop sustainability objectives, targets and action plans;
• implement environmental, social, governance and supply-chain controls;
• strengthen sustainability data quality, evidence and internal controls;
• prepare reliable ESG and sustainability disclosures;
• improve internal audit, assurance readiness and management review; and
• continually improve sustainability performance.

The book is written for boards of directors, CEOs, sustainability managers, accountants, finance professionals, internal auditors, risk practitioners, process owners, consultants, trainers, students and others responsible for sustainability performance and reporting.

It is especially useful for organisations that need a practical system behind their sustainability commitments and disclosures, rather than relying on year-end data collection and reporting alone.

Its central message is simple:

Sustainability is not a report - it is a system for creating, protecting and enhancing value.
