Description

The Need for Harmonized ESG Reporting for Financial Entities

The environmental, social, and governance (ESG) reporting landscape for financial entities is being rapidly reshaped. To meet investor needs, financial accounting standards boards are creating new frameworks to develop comprehensive sustainability disclosure standards. However, regulatory requirements are complex and potentially contradictory. There are also mandatory and non-mandatory disclosures. To make ESG reporting more meaningful, steps should be taken to make the data and metrics currently used in such reporting more consistent.“To make ESG reporting part of a clear regulatory framework, the synchronized development of various elements of the ESG disclosure landscape is crucial. This will mitigate the risk of conflicted or inconsistent information being disclosed.” — Associate Research Director George Briford, IDC Financial Services Insights

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
