There's been a string of first-time CSR reports popping up in my LinkedIn feed lately and, I'll be honest, they've been pretty decent reads with a mix of material projects, philanthropy, and disclosures.When it comes to these reports, I choose to believe that they are well intentioned, although I read a lot of them and can tell when it's marketing and greenwashing instead of impact. Many follow a similar pattern, but most end with metrics and disclosures, aligned to various frameworks.Investors crave those metrics, but activists lament the lack of progress. Against the other trends globally, these disclosures and a narrow view could miss the point entirely, if not carefully considered across E, S, and G. Let's get to it!
