WBCSD: Sustainability reporting as a strategic tool

04 November 2025

The World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) has published a report, exploring how companies can leverage sustainability-related disclosures as a strategic tool.

The report includes a review of 185 companies’ sustainability disclosures, 16 examples of good practice, and recommendations to improve reporting and strategy development. 

It also provides case studies on:

  • How companies have used their double materiality assessments and disclosures to drive cross-functional alignment and sustainability strategy
  • How reports can be tailored to meet the needs of different audiences
  • And how firms can use the Sustainable Development Goals as a contextual framework for reporting impacts
