Measuring Stakeholder Capitalism: Towards Common Metrics and Consistent Reporting of Sustainable Value Creation

The report introduces the "Stakeholder Capitalism Metrics," a set of core and expanded disclosures designed to align corporate reporting on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) indicators and track contributions toward the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Developed by the International Business Council with support from 120 of the world's largest companies, the initiative aims to accelerate convergence among private standard-setters to ensure greater comparability in how companies demonstrate their contributions to society and the planet.

• The 'Stakeholder Capitalism Metrics' provide a framework for companies to align their mainstream reporting on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) indicators and consistently track their progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
• The metrics are based on existing standards with the goal of increasing consistency and comparability in ESG disclosures and speeding up convergence between leading private standard-setters.
• The initiative was developed within the International Business Council, comprising over 120 global CEOs, and has seen over 150 companies implement these sustainability reporting metrics.
