Environmental Disclosure Statement
Environmental Disclosure Statement
An Environmental Disclosure Statement is a formal report or communication that provides information about an organization’s environmental impacts, risks, and liabilities. The statement typically includes data on emissions, waste, energy use, and other environmental metrics, as well as a discussion of the organization’s environmental management systems, compliance status, and future goals. The purpose of the statement is to provide transparency and accountability to stakeholders, such as investors, regulators, and the public, and to demonstrate the organization’s commitment to environmental responsibility. Environmental Disclosure Statements are often required by law or regulation, such as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules for corporate environmental reporting. They may also be voluntarily issued as part of a sustainability report or other public communication. The statement should be based on accurate and reliable data, and should be presented in a clear and accessible format. Environmental Disclosure Statements are an important tool for promoting informed decision-making and for driving continuous improvement in environmental performance.
