This practice note discusses the status of data and reporting practices and highlights specific opportunities to improve the consistency and quality of data, reporting and disclosure. It provides a user-friendly template defining ‘core data requirements’ for product stewardship schemes. The template is intended to support an uplift in the quality of data collected and reported; and, encourage greater transparency with consistent annual disclosure of environmental, social and governance performance data.
