World Economic Forum (WEF) ESG Framework Reporting with Discloser

Introduction to WEF ESG Framework

The World Economic Forum (WEF), in collaboration with the Big Four accounting firms and leading global companies, has developed a set of universal Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) metrics and disclosures to measure stakeholder capitalism. The WEF ESG framework aims to standardize ESG reporting and provide a common, comparable approach for companies to express their sustainable business performance to stakeholders.

This set of metrics and disclosures, often referred to as the "stakeholder capitalism metrics," emphasizes the interdependence of corporations and societies and encourages companies to actively engage in broader societal goals.

Understanding the WEF ESG Framework

The WEF ESG Framework is structured around four key pillars:

1. Principles of Governance: This pillar focuses on a company’s commitment to ethics and societal benefit, how its governance structure supports this commitment, and its overall transparency.
2. Planet: This category concentrates on a company’s impacts on the natural environment, including disclosures related to climate stewardship, water and resource availability, and ecosystem health.
3. People: This pillar addresses the social dimension of business impacts, specifically regarding equity and social justice, conditions of work, and human rights.
4. Prosperity: This focuses on a company’s business model, innovation capacity, financial performance, risk, and return on investment.

The WEF ESG Framework aims to create a universal approach to ESG reporting, improving transparency, and enabling meaningful comparisons of corporate performance.
