Sustainability Reporting Evolves to Include More Water Risk, Supply Chain Disclosures

By Avery Fellow

As the number of companies compiling sustainability reports grows, the content of those reports is evolving to include more focus on water impacts and supply chain information, according to corporate sustainability officials and consultants.
