Corporate Foresight
By Editorial TeamBusiness as usual is no longer an option! There is a growing realization among more and more politicians, businesses, and members of society that things cannot continue as they are.

Evidence-based Standards for Reporting on Materiality
Elaine Cohen, Beyond Business LtdMateriality assessment concerning corporate sustainability disclosures is still difficult. The Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) offers evidence-based standards for reporting on materiality. “The SASB aims to become the future of both financial and sustainability disclosure, providing guidance for the missing link through a set of material indicators by sector and voluntary disclosure, which no self-respecting voluntary corporate reporter will be able to avoid referencing and which no 'reasonable investor' will be willing to overlook," writes Elaine Cohen in CSRWire. more[...]
