pollution prevention, and biodiversity
conservation. 2. Social performance This

and safety, diversity and inclusion, and
philanthropic activities. 3. Governance This
focuses on the organization's corporate
governance structure, ethics, anti-corruption
measures, risk management, and compliance with
relevant laws and regulations. Reporting on
sustainability is guided by frameworks like the

Accounting Standards Board, and Task Force on
Climate-related Financial Disclosures. These
