DFIN's ESG Fact Sheet solution, developed and based on numerous
DFIN customer engagements and years of expertise, makes it easy for
companies to deliver ESG reports — typically in 90 days.
ActiveDisclosure serves as the platform for financial and ESG
data and navigates the constantly evolving reporting environment
with guidance from the SEC. The resulting ESG Fact Sheet serves
several functions:
- Informing employees and investors how a company addresses its
ESG goals.
- Allowing a company to benchmark ESG efforts against
competitors, as well as understand the impact of ESG on financial
performance.
- Empowering a company to easily unlock data-driven insights for
better decision-making.
The software solution is especially helpful for those interested
in sustainable investing, which prioritizes companies that seek to
make a positive change in the world beyond financial gain. By
gathering and analyzing corporate ESG performance in a Fact Sheet,
companies can demonstrate to stakeholders that they are
contributing to the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and are
proactively addressing climate change.
"As an emerging growth company, getting our ESG journey started
as early and as efficiently as possible was important. DFIN's team
helped us envision our path, define our objectives and make
meaningful progress on our first-year goals," said Liz Sharp, Vice President of Investor Relations,
American Outdoor Brands.
"Companies increasingly are looking to address pressing climate
issues, and they seek to demonstrate to the public that their
activities are making a tangible and beneficial impact on our
world," said Craig Clay, President
of Global Capital Markets at DFIN. "While the SEC continues to
evolve its ESG reporting standards, we are helping businesses
proactively gather, analyze and share information with the public.
Companies using the DFIN ESG Fact Sheet can easily highlight
improvements in ESG compliance over time and reduce their reporting
costs by streamlining the entire process."
The DFIN offering fills an important need. According to DFIN's
ESG Pulse Report, executives find current ESG reporting too
burdensome (90 percent) and say they need assistance from third
parties (80 percent). However, while corporations have increased
their focus on ESG in the past two years, an even greater
proportion of those surveyed (75 percent) believe their focus on
ESG will increase in the next three years.
