To satisfy stakeholder requirements, e.g. legal, clients’ or financial analysts’ demands for transparency on companies’ Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and sustainability performance it is best to employ a synergy of integrated sustainability management, reporting and third party assessments. Both, the Sustainability Code by the German Council for Sustainable Development and the EcoVadis assessment offer solutions to filter and present essential information on an organization’s sustainability performance in a clear and structured way.
