ISAR Honours aims to raise awareness and facilitate the dissemination of national and international best practices on sustainability and Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) reporting. It supports the public and private sector efforts on enhancing the quality and comparability of companies’ reporting on their contribution to the 2030 sustainable development agenda, and its usefulness for monitoring the implementation of the SDGs. The initiative recognizes policy, institutional or capacity-building initiatives, publicly available at the national and international level that encourage and assist enterprises to publish data on their contribution to SDG implementation; and assist governments in collecting such data for the SDG monitoring needs. The initiative especially encourages proposals from the developing countries to recognize their efforts in the area and facilitate improvements in companies’ reporting on sustainability issues, including by promoting the integration of sustainability information, such as environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) issues, into companies’ reporting cycle.
