New Delhi (India), April 26: It makes good business sense to prioritise high-quality sustainability reporting based on consistent, comparable, and reliable sustainability data.

Transparency and risk and opportunity management can help to develop confidence in sustainability reporting. This, in turn, can boost organisational value and resilience. However, important aspects such as globally aligned sustainability reporting standards and independently verified disclosures must be in place to achieve this.

The intricate ecosystem of sustainability reporting standards, guidelines, and enablers is rapidly becoming obvious. The creation of the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) represents a step toward globally aligned sustainability standards that will drive consistency and comparability in sustainability reporting. Concurrently, regulators in Asia are imposing more stringent sustainability reporting standards, including climate reporting obligations. There is an urgent need to standardise ESG reporting internationally in order to provide stakeholders with relevant yardsticks for evaluating the sustainability performance of diverse organisations. While many countries, including several in Asia, have chosen to use the Global Reporting Initiative’s (GRI) standards and the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) framework as the foundation for ESG reporting regulations, many jurisdictions still need to adopt a variety of other reporting standards and frameworks.

Given the transnational nature of business, assessing the sustainability performance of enterprises throughout the area remains chaotic, and significant international cooperation is still required to streamline and simplify reporting standards.

Businesses should work on the fundamentals of sustainability reporting, such as ensuring that data is consistently acquired and meaningfully presented, as well as having clarity regarding measures that are similar across multiple reporting standards, in order to establish stronger adherence over time. These basic practices apply regardless of the reporting system an organisation uses.

Because investors are still concerned with materiality, gathering and producing investment-grade sustainability data is critical. While company executives increasingly recognise the importance of sustainability reporting, many still see it as distinct from, and even detrimental to, the bottom line. Responsible sustainability reporting, on the other hand, does have a major influence on profitability.

There is an urgent need for businesses to recognise that simply reporting data is insufficient. Fundamentally, we will need to adapt the way we do business to stay up with how the world around us is evolving. The concerns surrounding sustainability reporting must be reframed, and businesses should consider moving towards objectives that encourage and eventually assure sustainable development.

Businesses can no longer rely solely on profit and loss statements or earnings per share. Accountability in business planning is necessary, with a clear goal of consciously recognising emissions as consumption expenditures and business expenses. It is critical to determine genuine value.

Nonetheless, the highly varied difficulties afflicting sustainability reporting across countries produce discrepancies at the global, regional, and national levels, and multinational enterprises of all sizes continue to struggle.

While ESG has emerged as critical to a Company’s success, the tone from the top is crucial.

What is actually important are the concrete steps that firms are taking to incorporate ESG into their governance agenda. A strong commitment from the top levels of an organisation to operationalise ESG helps in transparent reporting.

Our Integrated Expertise

Over the last decade, Sustainability Reporting has undergone monumental changes. This is due to the increasing recognition within the finance sector of the powerful impact that environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues have on financial performance and corporate value. As a result, many countries have experienced a dramatic surge in the number of companies reporting on sustainability, driven not only by new laws and regulations but also by global norms. At K&A, we continue to step up our efforts to partner with companies on their sustainability journey with our expertise from content to design. Till date we have already delivered more than 40 sustainability and ESG reports for our clients.

Commenting on the proliferation of sustainable reporting in Asia, Shreya Sarkar, and Editorial at, Kalolwala & Associates Pvt Ltd (K&A) said, “Integrated sustainable reports findings not only help regulators, business leaders, investors, but other interested stakeholders also to gain a better insight into the business and understand the existing context of companies and regulators in Asia. That’s why along with strategic prowess, we also provide insights and ideas that help organisations to gain sustainability strategies and practices and broaden the discussion about the path to equivalence or convergence of standards.”

New Delhi (India), April 26: A young man named Sukh Johal was motivated to start his own adventure as an Instagram content maker after being inspired by the foreign Calisthenics king, Michael Vazquez, in a world where social media had become an integral part of people’s daily lives. He swiftly gathered a following of over 1,173,067 individuals who loved his ability to make inventive and outlandish videos that were relatable to his audience as soon as he started sharing his own content.

Particularly Sukh Johal’s fitness videos attracted a lot of attention both domestically and abroad, and his followers soon dubbed him “The King of Punjab.” Sukh Johal persisted and continued to create material every day without taking a break longer than one day despite suffering some difficulties in the beginning, such as having his ideas stolen by other content producers. He couldn’t help it; having been a talented student in the past, he was motivated by his enthusiasm for motivating others and his desire to share worthwhile information with his audience.

Sukh Johal earned enormous success thanks to his callisthenic skills and received more than 60 trophies as well as cash from his grateful followers. His triumph didn’t end there, though. He was well on his way to realising his ultimate dream of starting his own business.

The journey of Sukh Johal involved more than just his own success. He was aware of the influencers’ significance in influencing interactions between businesses and consumers, as well as the potential of social media to bring them together. He worked tirelessly for more than three years to accomplish this goal because he was determined to leverage his platform to support brands in engaging with their target audience more meaningfully.

Sukh Johal maintained his optimism and goal-focused attitude throughout his journey. He didn’t care about losing supporters since he had a strong conviction that if he had huge goals, he would achieve them. His content kept awe-inspiring crowds and viewers alike, who were equally astounded by his originality and innovation.

In the end, many people find inspiration from Sukh Johal’s narrative. He demonstrated that anyone can succeed in the digital age with effort, tenacity, and a desire to think large.

Addressing media personnel, Gurmit Singh Arora, National President Indian Plumbing Association, said. “India has 17.7% of the world’s population and only 4% of the world’s freshwater resources. India is also the largest extractor of groundwater in the world, and most of our aquifers are over-exploited. While the government is doing its part to create awareness and encourage water conservation to accomplish the National Water Mission’s Goal of increasing water use efficiency by 20%, IPA, being a member of the task force to achieve this mission, is aggressively promoting education and awareness among the masses to save and conserve water through social media, public deliberations, and the ‘IPA Neerathon’ a water awareness festival which is a 3 km, 5 km and 10 km run to promote water conversation in 5 metro cities, viz. Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Ahmedabad and Mumbai. During Plumbex India 2023, IPA will submit a memorandum on Net Zero water in built spaces to both the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs and the Ministry of Jal Shakti during Plumbex India 2023.

Water leakages currently account for more than 420 million litres per day.
