What is it about?

Considering the immediate threat posed by climate change, we have developed an SDG Assessment Framework that allows organizations to enhance their environmental performance by comparing it with their past and present achievements across the industry. The measurement of performance will help them modify/update business strategy either to continue with the same as it is contributing positively to the achievement of SDGs or change if it is having negative impacts on contribution to SDGs. Additionally, we have identified key determinants of corporate environmental performance disclosure
