According to new data from KPMG, New Zealand is underperfoming in sustainability reporting.
The KPMG report ranked New Zealand 38th out of 58 eligible countries in our environmental, social, and governance reporting, which puts us below the pack in terms of trading partners.
KPMG NZ partner Ian Proudfoot says getting our reporting standards up is important, as talented workers want to attach themselves to companies that give them purposeful work.
Ian Proudfoot also states Investors and consumers will want to connect with companies that can deliver positive contributions, and improved sustainability reporting is a better look for both domestic and international clients.
