Amid growing demands for companies to provide robust and verifiable information on their sustainability performance, investor relations (IR) professionals fulfil a crucial role in delivering feedback to management and taking action to address communication gaps.
This topic was explored in-depth through a recent event hosted by GRI
ASEAN. In an article on Medium, Daniele Coronacion shares insights from
corporate leaders, exploring how and why IR is moving to the forefront
of sustainability communications, with financial markets and
stakeholders, as well as ESG investment stewardship.
As more and more investors are showing interest in how a business
accounts for its impacts, the IR role has expanded to encapsulate
communications about ESG as well as financial performance. Managing
sustainability impacts is imperative for a company’s long-term financial
wellbeing. Integrating ESG considerations not only helps companies
identify and mitigate their risks, but more importantly, it creates
innovations that open up business opportunities.”
