(MENAFN- 3BL) NEW YORK, October 28, 2025 /3BL/ - The swirl of change around corporate sustainability reporting can create what feels like an increasingly crowded“alphabet soup” of directives, standards, frameworks, and mandates. Governance & Accountability Institute, Inc. (G&A), a leading corporate sustainability consulting and research firm, has released a one-page guide to support companies in navigating the essential frameworks for sustainability reporting.

The quick reference guide,“The ABCs of Corporate Sustainability: Deciphering Key ESG Reporting Frameworks” is meticulously crafted to present the most concise possible explanation of essential mandatory and voluntary frameworks.

While not fully comprehensive, the guide presents the frameworks most often encountered by corporate sustainability reporters. It also provides links to further resources for deeper exploration of each framework or standard.

This quick reference guide aims to help users navigate the ABCs of corporate reporting frameworks with:

• A concise definition of each framework and its implementation status;
• Resource papers and briefs to go deeper into scope and requirements;
• Overlapping relationships among the frameworks, along with links to more guidance on interoperability.

Charlotte Perrottey, G&A Vice President of Sustainability Consulting, commented,“This guide fits a lot of information into a handy, small package. It captures what companies most need to know about the key frameworks at this moment in time -- even as things continue to evolve -- and efficiently relays not just definitions, but also the latest implementation status and how the frameworks relate to one another.”

The one-page guide is freely available within G&A's resource center and can be downloaded here.
