Highlights• 87% of ASX200 companies provide some level of reporting on

sustainability factors• Long-term trend is reasonably positive (≈ 50% of

companies rated in 2 highest categories this year)• BUT way too many companies are still below an acceptable

standard (33% still in the lowest 2 categories). • There are 29 “Leaders” (highest rating for at least 5

years) and 3 persistent “Laggards” (no sustainability reporting at all for at least 4 years).

• Larger companies tend to be more proficient sustainability reporters than smaller ones.
