What is ESG Reporting?
ESG stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance. ESG reporting, also known as Annual Sustainability Reporting or GRI Reporting (following the Global Reporting Initiative standards), is the process by which businesses share their impact on the environment, their responsibility toward society, and how they manage their internal operations. This reporting has become a standard practice globally for businesses that want to grow responsibly and ethically.
For companies in Bangladesh, adopting ESG reporting is essential to stay competitive in today’s market.
Why ESG Reporting Matters in Bangladesh
As Bangladesh prepares to graduate from LDC status, ESG reporting is critical for global competitiveness. Investors and international buyers now prioritize sustainability and transparency. Without ESG alignment, companies risk:
- Losing access to key export markets (e.g., EU due to CSRD)
- Missing out on green financing
- Falling behind regional peers like India, Malaysia, or Sri Lanka
Yet only a handful of Bangladeshi companies currently publish ESG reports. This gap is due to limited awareness, poor data systems, and weak governance structures.
Who Needs to Start ESG Reporting?
- Export-oriented industries (RMG, leather, plastic, etc.)
- Listed companies on DSE
- Banks and financial institutions
- SMEs applying for green funds
- NGOs and donor-backed projects
If you’re part of Bangladesh’s growth story, ESG reporting should be part of your business plan.
