Self-reported data

    ESG & Governance

    ESG information that a company discloses about itself, for example in its BRSR, annual report or sustainability report.

    Most ESG data starts as self-reported data. Its quality depends on the company's systems, boundaries and honesty. Independent assurance, such as the reasonable assurance or assessment required for BRSR Core indicators, makes self-reported data more reliable. Unassured figures should be cross-checked against trends, peers and external sources.
