WBCSD has developed a self-assessment tool for corporate directors. The tool is designed to provide guidance to a board on how it is integrating ESG matters into its oversight role. It is not an evaluation of the board’s overall effectiveness, professionalism, or impacts. The multiple-choice questionnaire evaluates the boards integration of sustainability across five core areas:

  • Purpose & business model
  • Risk management
  • Engagement with management
  • Engagement with stakeholders
  • Non-financial reporting
