INREV’s latest IQ blog, From sustainability strategy to reporting, features Steve Goossens, Chair of the INREV Sustainability Committee and Senior Portfolio Manager at APG, on how sustainability data is evolving from disclosure towards a more strategic role in investment decision‑making. It highlights how the industry’s growing need for forward‑looking, decision‑useful data is reshaping reporting practices and driving greater demand for consistency and comparability.
The blog outlines three key developments shaping this transition:
- The shift from backward‑looking ESG disclosure to forward‑looking data that supports investment decisions and portfolio steering
- The move towards more frequent and structured data collection, including quarterly reporting aligned with ESG SDDS principles
- The growing importance of standardised frameworks such as the INREV ESG SDDS to create a common language while maintaining flexibility for different investor needs
Read the full IQ blog to explore how sustainability data is moving from reporting to steering, and what this means for investors.
