NEW YORK--A study of emerging market companies indicates nearly nine out of 10 firms (87 percent) now offer at least some sustainability disclosure, according to a major new report released today by the Social Investment Research Analyst Network (SIRAN), a working group of the Social Investment Forum (SIF), and conducted by the independent investment research firm KLD Research & Analytics, Inc.
Launched at Institutional Investor Events' 2nd Annual Forum on Responsible Investing, produced in association with SIF, the SIRAN report also found that among the seven countries in the study, South Africa emerged as the overall leader in sustainability reporting, with six companies meeting all five criteria, accounting for 75 percent of the country sample.
Sustainability reporting is designed to provide information on an entity's environmental, social, and governance performance and impacts and their initiatives for improving their performance in these areas.
