Sustainability legislation and reporting are developing rapidly. In the coming years, organizations will be faced with increasingly stringent legal requirements in this area. In addition, many organizations are signing up to covenants. These are agreements that often relate to the efforts you are making (or should be making) in the field of corporate social responsibility, and how you account for this as an organization. Covenants are entered into voluntarily or because of an obligation via an industry association.
Signing covenants is a way to distinguish the organization in the market. It offers opportunities, but also means that you have to make an effort to comply with the covenants.
More stringent laws and regulations in the field of sustainability and a growing social call to do more in this area, make it all the more important to keep track of both legislation and covenants.
To what extent are you complying with the covenants you have signed? And how do these agreements relate to the legal obligations in the field of sustainability? In what aspects are they similar, and where do they differ? Finding this balance can be quite a challenge.
