This paper examines the importance of sustainability reporting (ESG) in the global and national economic context, analysing the associated challenges and opportunities. The research focuses on the evolution of ESG standards and regulations, with particular attention to the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). ESG reporting allows companies to demonstrate their commitment to sustainability, improving transparency and stakeholder trust, and increasing competitiveness in the global market. The main objective is to analyse the effectiveness of ESG reporting and the adoption of IFRS standards in line with the goals of the CSRD. The methodology includes a review of existing literature, an analysis of current regulations, and a comparison of different ESG standards. The research highlights the importance of the comparability of ESG information, which is essential for evaluating corporate sustainability strategies in a globalised context. The IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards (IFRS SDS) and the CSRD aim to provide a coherent and comparable regulatory framework for ESG reporting, facilitating the communication of data globally. This aspect could lead to the creation of a unique global framework, simplifying reporting obligations for multinational companies. The research compares IFRS with other ESG standards such as GRI, ESRS, and SASB, highlighting the advantages and limitations of each. The IFRS SDS are distinguished by their integrated approach and focus on the needs of global investors, and their adoption, in line with the CSRD, represents a strategic step for companies, aimed at ensuring greater transparency and accountability in sustainability matters. In perspective, the comparability of ESG information will emerge as a fundamental driver of the sustainable transition, allowing stakeholders to make informed choices and support high-impact positive initiatives. The evolution of ESG reporting and IFRS standards will continue to profoundly influence the economic landscape, with companies investing in transparency, coherence, and comparability better positioned to face sustainability challenges.
Il presente elaborato esamina l'importanza della rendicontazione di sostenibilità (ESG) nel contesto economico globale e nazionale, analizzando le sfide e le opportunità associate. La ricerca si focalizza sull'evoluzione degli standard e delle normative ESG, con particolare attenzione agli International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) e alla Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). La rendicontazione ESG permette alle aziende di dimostrare il proprio impegno verso la sostenibilità, migliorando la trasparenza e la fiducia degli stakeholder, e aumentare la competitività nel mercato globale. L'obiettivo principale è analizzare l'efficacia della rendicontazione ESG e l'adozione degli standard IFRS in linea con gli obiettivi della CSRD. La metodologia adottata comprende una revisione della letteratura esistente, un’analisi delle normative vigenti e una comparazione tra diversi standard ESG. La ricerca evidenzia l'importanza della comparabilità delle informazioni ESG, essenziale per valutare le strategie di sostenibilità aziendali in un contesto globalizzato. Gli IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards (IFRS SDS) e la CSRD mirano a fornire un quadro normativo coerente e confrontabile per la rendicontazione ESG, facilitando la comunicazione dei dati a livello globale. Tale aspetto potrebbe portare alla creazione di un framework globale unico, semplificando gli obblighi di rendicontazione per le imprese multinazionali. La ricerca confronta gli IFRS con altri standard ESG come GRI, ESRS e SASB, evidenziando vantaggi e limiti di ciascuno. Gli IFRS SDS si distinguono per l’approccio integrato e focalizzato sulle esigenze degli investitori globali e la loro adozione, in linea con la CSRD, rappresenta un passaggio strategico per le imprese, volto a garantire maggiore trasparenza e responsabilità in materia di sostenibilità. In prospettiva, la comparabilità delle informazioni ESG emergerà come driver fondamentale della transizione sostenibile, permettendo agli stakeholder di effettuare scelte informate e sostenere iniziative ad alto impatto positivo. L'evoluzione della rendicontazione ESG e degli standard IFRS continuerà a influenzare profondamente il panorama economico, con le imprese che investono in trasparenza, coerenza e comparabilità meglio posizionate per affrontare le sfide della sostenibilità.

Abstract
This paper examines the importance of sustainability reporting (ESG) in the global and national economic context, analysing the associated challenges and opportunities. The research focuses on the evolution of ESG standards and regulations, with particular attention to the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). ESG reporting allows companies to demonstrate their commitment to sustainability, improving transparency and stakeholder trust, and increasing competitiveness in the global market. The main objective is to analyse the effectiveness of ESG reporting and the adoption of IFRS standards in line with the goals of the CSRD. The methodology includes a review of existing literature, an analysis of current regulations, and a comparison of different ESG standards. The research highlights the importance of the comparability of ESG information, which is essential for evaluating corporate sustainability strategies in a globalised context. The IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards (IFRS SDS) and the CSRD aim to provide a coherent and comparable regulatory framework for ESG reporting, facilitating the communication of data globally.
