External disclosure of your company's environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance would cover a wide range of information, both qualitative (including environmental policies and strategies in response to stakeholder concerns), and quantitative (such as GHG emission volume). This means that it is crucial for company to select and adopt the appropriate framework for reporting your ESG information in a systematic and logical manner.
