Benjie with the roundtable participants
Benjie provided valuable insights and perspectives, discussing experiences in sustainability reporting, challenges faced, leading practices, and potential areas for improvement. This information is intended to support the IPSASB in developing its agenda on sustainability reporting in the public sector.
Benjie emphasized that sustainability reporting enables organizations to disclose their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance. By sharing this information, public sector organizations offer stakeholders a clear understanding of their societal and environmental impact which is crucial in fostering accountability for actions and decisions that also affect the community.
