SUSTAINABILITY REPORTING
Alere Consulting will craft the company’s Assessment-Ready Sustainability Report to go beyond mere local regulatory compliance and prepare this to be ready for global assessment standards. With Alere’s knowledge of assessment standards, we can help you maximize your Sustainability Reporting to include disclosure options, drafting of commitments and policies for publishing in your corporate website.
While this may be an extra-step from the SEC Compliance Guidelines, we believe this extra-effort will define the company’s distinction over its peers in the sector and beyond industry, increase investor visibility, and prepares the company to work towards a Sustainability Rating from globally recognized assessment firms.

1. Why is Sustainability Reporting important?
Sustainability Reporting is important because it demonstrates a company’s commitment to responsible business practices, regulatory compliance, and transparency which are foundational expectations for any listed company. Meeting the SEC’s requirements ensures that the baseline information is disclosed to the public.
However, the real value of Sustainability Reporting emerges when it goes beyond compliance. When structured properly, the report becomes a tool for strengthening investor confidence, securing or improving ESG ratings, and increasing visibility in global capital markets.

2. What is Alere’s Assessment-Ready Sustainability Report, and how does it add value to the company?
Alere’s Assessment-Ready Sustainability Report is a level up version of the usual Sustainability Report because it is specifically designed to meet the evidence requirements of major ESG rating agencies and sustainability-focused investors. Unlike standard SEC-compliant reports which focuses on regulatory disclosure, Alere’s Assessment-Ready Sustainability Report is structured so that every key sustainability practice, metric, and policy is publicly available, verifiable, and scorable.
This matters because major ESG assessments and similar platforms typically only award points for information that can be accessed publicly through the company’s report or website.

3. How does Alere’s Assessment-Ready Sustainability Report strengthen Investor Relations and capital markets positioning?
Alere’s Assessment-Ready Sustainability Report strengthens a company’s position in Investor Relations and the capital markets by making its sustainability performance visible and credible to institutional investors. Most fund managers and analysts rely on ESG ratings and publicly disclosed data when screening companies on platforms like Bloomberg. If disclosures remain limited to compliance, the company often receives no ESG rating and does not appear in these investor filters, even if it already practices strong sustainability internally.
When the report is elevated to Alere’s Assessment-Ready standard, the company becomes discoverable to sustainability-focused funds/ indices and global investors who prioritize transparency and verified ESG information.
