5、mall Steps Survey of Sustainability Reporting 2022,which analyses the sustainability reports issued by 5,800 leading companies across 58 countries,territories and jurisdictions.The survey shows that sustainability reporting is becoming increasingly popular globally;about 80 percent of leading enterp
6、rises have released sustainability reports,though improvements can still be made in certain key areas of sustainability and Environmental,Social and Governance(ESG)reporting.As the second largest economy in the world,China is increasingly making a global impact and the countrys enterprises are showi
7、ng significant improvement in sustainability reporting.Overall,China has made progress in aligning with global trends and maintaining pace with global efforts.The country is working on key areas,such as ecological conservation and environmental protection,and gaining support from a wide spectrum of
8、stakeholders to explore new possibilities in sustainability reporting against the backdrop of green development.The form and systems of sustainability reporting are changing rapidly around the world and enterprises must prioritise self-improvement strategies to address this changing environment.The
9、survey depicts a bright picture of sustainability reporting in China,while also pinpointing certain inadequacies.Rome was not built in a day,and time is needed to catch up with international standards,but Chinese enterprises are quick in adapting local specifics and learning from successful cases to
10、 create development plans suited to local needs.This report supplements KPMGs Survey of Sustainability Reporting 2022 and aims to provide leading insight into sustainability reporting adopted by Chinese enterprises,including the latest developments and emerging trends in ESG.It summarises three impo

15、while tapping into the potential value and resilience of their businesses in an increasingly competitive environment.Over the past year,we have seen a rapid development and increasing stringency in ESG disclosure standards.High-quality ESG disclosures help companies communicate their sustainability
16、vision and opportunities to stakeholders,and are also critical to obtain financing from the market.In this China Insights report,we summarise three key areas of focus to serve as an introduction to ESG disclosures and share KPMG Chinas insights with Chinese enterprises.Wei LinPartner,Head of Environ

19、 stakeholder engagement is critical to improving the quality of sustainability reporting,and that materiality assessments are imperative in driving this engagement.There is a positive trend in Chinas development in this area.The 2022 survey highlights the more demanding challenges of information dis
20、closure:the majority of companies in the sample reported ESG-related information mainly in a narrative form,with only 2%of G250 and N100 companies1 disclosing the corresponding quantitative or financial data.In addition,the disclosures made under the Social and Governance pillars need to be improved
21、.As China pays increasing attention to these factors,with the aid of materiality assessments,the quality of disclosures by Chinese companies is expected to improve.1 Definition of the two types of selected enterprises in this survey.G250:worlds 250 largest companies by revenue based on the 2021 Fort
22、une 500 ranking;N100:worldwide sample of the top 100 companies by revenue in 58 countries,territories and jurisdictions.In pursuit of more transparent and open reporting,companies are taking on a greater responsibility for addressing climate risk.While companies have made significant progress in dis
23、closing carbon reduction targets and their performance in relation to carbon indicators,other key areas are left lagging.For example,less than half of companies currently consider biodiversity loss as a risk.On a positive note,most industries are now recognising this risk and the introduction of the
24、 Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures(TNFD)and the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive(CSRD)frameworks are expected to improve reporting in the near future.In addition,most companies recognise that in order to meet their targets they must reduce their own carbon emissions,rathe
25、r than relying solely on carbon credits.China is implementing a“dual carbon”strategy,promoting the transition to a low carbon economy and proactively participating in the global governance of climate change.As regulations improve over time,regulators and non-profit standard setters around the world
26、have taken important actions on non-financial disclosures.China is following this trend by issuing its first voluntary guidance on corporate ESG disclosures,laying the groundwork to maintain parity with the rest of the world.Independent,external assurances of sustainability information can enhance t
27、he credibility of sustainability reports.The introduction of new regulations and further supervision may increase the assurance rate among N100 companies in the coming years.Following a decline in 2020,the G250 assurance rate increased in 2022,largely driven by trends in China.The actual assurance r
28、ate in 2022 for G250 companies,including Chinas new entrants,increased slightly from 62%in 2020 to 63%.While this is to be welcomed,Chinas assurance rate is not yet on par with global levels.More companies are encouraged to seek ESG assurance to further improve the transparency and openness of their

31、Chinese companiesThe continuously increasing level of sustainability reporting across the globe is encouraging.Almost every G250 company has released a sustainability report in 2022;96%having made disclosures on sustainability or ESG-related matters.By region,the reporting of sustainability among N1
32、00 companies has grown steadily,from approximately two-thirds a decade ago to 79%now.China accounts for the largest number of companies among the G250 ranking.The number of Chinese G250 companies has grown from 61 in 2020 to 74 by 2022,accounting for 30%of all G250 companies.Meanwhile,we see a marke
33、d increase in the sustainability reporting rate of Chinas N100,which increased from 78%in Base:5,800 N100 companies and 250 G250 companiesSource:KPMG Survey of Sustainability Reporting 2022,KPMG International,September 2022G250Chinas N1002020 to 89%in 2022.The sustainability reporting rate is expect
34、ed to get closer to the global level,driven by new laws and regulations that will be introduced in this area.Based on the published sustainability reports,it was found that preferences for which reporting standards were used varied across jurisdictions.For example,the Global Reporting Initiative(GRI
35、)was adopted by a majority of companies in jurisdictions like Singapore and Chile,while the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board(SASB)standards were the most used by companies in the US,Canada and Brazil.According to the survey,while these two voluntary frameworks were the most popular globally
36、 in 2022,there were also jurisdictions(such as South Africa,Malaysia,and India)that used local stock exchange guidelines as their main reporting framework.That list also included China.In 2022,61%of Chinas N100companies adopted the ESG reporting guidelines issued by the Hong Kong,Shenzhen and Shangh
37、ai stock exchanges96%89%Overall,the GRI remained the most widely used standard globally,but companies should prepare for ESG reporting to become mandatory as regulations in this area rapidly evolve in their respective jurisdictions.In addition,the fact that there are a number of frameworks to choose
38、 from in the market makes it much more challenging to collaborate in this area at a global level.Fortunately,as standards set out by the International Sustainability Standards Board(ISSB)and the CSRD are now coming into being,multinational companies will be able to coordinate and move forward in thi

41、keholder engagementDue to stakeholders increasingly expecting companies to tell their own ESG narratives,it has become a pressing trend for businesses to report on ESG-related issues.Meanwhile,companies are also becoming increasingly aware that their involvement is key to improving the quality of su
42、stainability reports.According to the survey,nearly three-quarters of surveyed companies that had published an ESG report performed materiality assessments of the topics that were disclosed in the report.However,only 64%of N100 companies in China did so,highlighting that further progress is needed.M
43、ateriality assessments are considered the cornerstone of ESG reporting,as well as the starting point for making valid disclosures.Assessing the impact of ESG-related topics in a given context can drive stakeholder engagement.The report also surveyed how companies reported their impacts on themselves
44、,on their stakeholders,and on society as a whole.This showed that 39%of G250 companies reported all three impacts,compared to less than a third of N100 companies.The reason for this difference may be that the former set of companies is more stakeholder-driven.With all the efforts to make company rep
45、orting on sustainability-related information mandatory,KPMG expects that there will be an increase in the number of companies performing such materiality assessments in the future.The 2022 survey also highlighted the more demanding challenges faced by large companies in disclosing ESG-related inform
46、ation.The majority of companies in the sample reported ESG-related information in a narrative form;only 2%of G250 companies and N100 companies disclosed the corresponding quantitative or financial data.In addition,the disclosures made under the Social and Governance pillars need to be improved.While
47、 governance risk was reported to have an impact on compliance or business integrity,such as breaches of bribery and anti-corruption rules,only 44%of surveyed G250 companies acknowledged that governance factors pose risks to their business.By region,N100 companies in Africa,Western Europe and Asia Pa
48、cific reached the highest level of disclosures on governance risk,at 49%for each of the three regions,compared to 37%in North America and 33%in Latin America,and only 13%in the Middle East.It is clear that these levels of disclosure do not align with the materiality of these topics.To an extent,thro
49、ugh materiality assessments,companies will be able to use their focus on key ESG issues to identify material topics so as to improve their disclosures.Only 31%of Chinese N100 companies provided disclosures on governance risk.However,the level of governance risk-related disclosures is expected to imp
50、rove as companies become more focused on these factors and increase their usage of materiality assessments.Base:N100 companies in China that report on sustainability or ESG matters and 250 G250 companiesSource:KPMG Survey of Sustainability Reporting 2022,KPMG International,September 2022G25044%China

56、22It is encouraging to see that companies are actively aligning their sustainability initiatives with the SDGs.To truly deliver outcome under the relevant SDGs,it would be important for companies to evaluate holistically the impacts of social and governance issues on their businesses,develop improve
57、ment plans and monitor and communicate transparently their actions and progress with key stakeholders.Materiality assessment and analysis of material topics are the cornerstones of ESG information disclosure.Therefore,it is important for companies to understand how they can make use of their resourc
58、es and the corresponding inputs,activities,outputs and outcomes.We recommend that companies strengthen their assessment and reporting processes to ensure that policies are implemented and enforced consistently,starting with their responses and management strategies for the material risks and opportu

62、 between various sectors of society to address the threats imposed by climate change,such as the need to control carbon emission volumes and the preservation of biodiversity.To improve transparency and openness in their sustainability reports,companies need to shoulder more responsibility in terms o
63、f carbon emission reductions and halting biodiversity loss.However,achieving these goals will be no easy feat.Despite significant progress made by companies in disclosing carbon reduction goals and carbon performance indicators since the establishment of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial D
64、isclosures(TCFD),efforts in other key areas are still lacking.Take biodiversity loss for example fewer than half of companies have recognised the risk in this area.2022 was a crucial year for nature and biodiversity preservation,as the international community made intensified efforts to halt biodive
65、rsity loss.On a positive note,most sectors are now understanding the risk of biodiversity loss.In the short term,improvement is expected to be made in ESG reporting under the frameworks to be launched by the TNFD and the CSRD.In terms of climate-related disclosures,the proportion of N100 and G250 co
66、mpanies that have provided climate-related disclosures in 2022 stood at 71%and 80%respectively,an increase from 2020 of 6%and 4%respectively.Still greater efforts are needed to achieve further improvement in this area.Companies are gaining awareness of the importance of their contributions to achiev
67、e global,regional,and national climate goals.However,around 20%of G250 companies have not disclosed any connection between their own and external reference goals,while most companies have made such a connection by referencing external carbon reduction goals set by governments and other institutions.
68、By region,the disclosure rates of carbon-related indicators are relatively higher in Europe(80%),the Americas(74%),and the Asia Pacific region(62%),while companies in the Middle East and Africa have the lowest rate(54%).By country,the UK takes the lead in reporting carbon-related indicators(96%),wit
69、h Japan(95%)and Germany(94%)following closely behind.Driven by the dual carbon goals,the number of Chinas N100 companies that have set up carbon emission reduction goals have increased by 10 percentage points since 2020,demonstrating potential for further improvement.Only emision reductionsBoth emis

74、 and work together with external parties to forge the way ahead.Building on the SASB standards,TCFD recommendations,Climate Disclosure Standards Board guidance and Integrated Reporting Framework,the formation of the ISSB is expected to harmonise the reporting landscape and streamline sustainability

81、s across the globe have taken significant action in terms of non-financial disclosures,such as the GRI Standards that were updated in October 2021,and the Draft Exposure,released by the ISSB in March 2022.These demonstrate a gradual tightening of global cooperation in ESG practice.In June 2022,the G
82、uidance for Enterprise ESG Disclosure(T/CERDS 2-2022),Chinas first voluntary guidance on ESG information disclosures for companies,came into force,laying a solid foundation for future cooperation and improvement.KPMG expects that Chinese companies newly added to the G250 list will catch up with thei
83、r peers in terms of ESG-related disclosures in the coming years.The independent external assurance on the information contained in a companys sustainability report helps enhance the credibility of such reports.2020 was a critical milestone,during which nearly half of N100 companies made their first
84、investments in independent third-party assurance.2022 has seen a decline in terms of the rate of assurance requested by N100 companies,but we expect a rebound in the next few years due to a further tightening of regulations.Since the decline in 2020,the ESG assurance rate of G250 companies has rebou
85、nded slightly,with the assurance rate of G250 companies(including those newly included Chinese companies)standing at 63%,up from 62%in 2020.The assurance level represents the maturity of ESG assurance services in a region,though the level may vary among regions.Accordingly,though China may have made
86、 satisfying progress so far,more companies are encouraged to seek ESG assurance so as to further improve the transparency and openness of their reports.Over the past two years,the ESG assurance rate of Chinas N100 companies has doubled,from 15 companies in 2020 to 30 in 2022Corporate sustainability

95、ationsThe world is undergoing profound changes unseen over the last century as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic lingers on.China is facing multifarious challenges and its enterprises must make transformative breakthroughs to meet these challenges.China has an inspiring and ambitious plan for gree
96、n development,and is determined to follow global trends.Its actions as a leading country in the world will certainly come into focus.At the same time,boards of directors are urged to contribute their various perspectives and initiate conversations to broaden the corporate horizon under new ESG-relat
97、ed requirements.This is to ensure that climate and ESG factors are adequately considered to the furthest extent possible in the making of top-down strategic decisions.KPMGs survey report highlights the following sustainability reporting corporate practices:Understanding stakeholder expectations Inco
