Compliance ensures transparency, regulatory adherence, investor confidence, and alignment with global sustainability goals like the SDGs. It also helps businesses manage risks and improve ESG performance.

GRI provides sector-specific and topic-based standards to report on economic, environmental, and social impacts. It is widely used for corporate sustainability disclosures.

IFRS S1 and S2, developed by the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB), standardize climate and sustainability disclosures for financial reporting, improving comparability and decision-making for investors.

TCFD provides recommendations for climate-related financial risk disclosures across four key areas: Governance, Strategy, Risk Management, and Metrics & Targets.

TNFD provides guidance for organizations to disclose and manage their impacts and dependencies on nature and biodiversity, similar to TCFD but focusing on nature-related risks.

Organizations align their sustainability initiatives with the 17 SDGs by mapping their ESG strategies to relevant goals and measuring their contribution to sustainable development.
