TO PUBLICLY-LISTED COMPANIES
SUBJECT SUSTAINABILITY REPORTING GUIDELINES FOR PUBLICLY-LISTED COMPANIES To promote sustainability reporting and make it relevant for Philippine publicly-listed companies (PLCs), the Commission, in its en banc meeting on 12 February 2019, resolved to issue the Sustainability Reporting Guidelines for Publicly-Listed Companies attached to this Memorandum Circular. The Guidelines is intended to help PLCs assess and manage non-financial performance across Economic, Environmental and Social aspects of their organization and enable PLCs to measure and monitor their contributions towards achieving universal targets of sustainability, such as the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, as well as national policies and programs, such as AmBisyon Natin 2040, Submission with SEC Form 17-A The reporting template (Annex A of the Guidelines) shall be submitted together with the company's Annual Report (SEC Form 17-A). The first report shall be attached to the 2019 Annual Report to be submitted in 2020. For companies who already have sustainability reports in accordance with internationally recognized frameworks and standards, their reports shall already be considered as their compliance with the reporting template. Companies may choose to attach the whole sustainability report to their Annual Report or just include a statement providing a link to said report. Comply or Explain Approach The Guidelines shall be adopted on a "comply or explain" approach for the first three years upon implementation. By "comply or explain", it means that companies would be required to attach the template to their Annual Reports but they can provide explanations for items where they still have no available data on. Penalty for Non-attachment of the Sustainability Report to the Annual Report Non-attachment of the Sustainability Report to the Annual Report shall be subject to the penalty for Incomplete Annual Report provided under SEC Memorandum Circular No. 6, Series of 2005 (Consolidated Scale of Fines).

Sustainability Reporting Guidelines fur
Publicly Listed Companies
INTRODUCTION
In recent years, increased focus has been placed on companies to provide greater disclosure and transparency not only on financial matters but on non-financial and sustainability issues, as well. Companies' stakeholders now give greater attention to how businesses impact the economy, environment and society and the way corporations respond to sustainability challenges, in addition to financial challenges, determines their long-term viability and competitiveness. Consequently, Sustainability Reporting has emerged as a common practice for companies globally. In fact, 93% of the world's largest 250 companies and 75% of the top 100 companies in 49 countries report on sustainability.'However, for the Philippines, less than 22% of publicly-listed companies have published a report on sustainability impacts and performances.2 The need to promote sustainability reporting to Philippine companies served as the impetus for the SEC to include Principle 10 in the Code of Corporate Governance for Publicly-Listed Companies (PLCs) stating that companies should ensure that material and reportable non-financial and sustainability issues are disclosed. Recommendation 10.1 of the same Code further provides as follow:
"The board should have a clear and focused policy on the disclosure of non￾financial information, with emphasis on the management of economic, environmental, social and governance (EESG) issues of its business, which underpin sustainability. Companies should adopt a globally recognized standard/framework in reporting sustainability and non-financial issues." To further increase awareness among Philippine PLCs on sustainability reporting, the SEC is releasing this Guidelines on Sustainability Reporting. This Guidelines is crafted with the following objectives:

• Make sustainability reporting relevant and value adding for Philippine PLCs

• Help PLCs to identify, evaluate and manage their material Economic, Environmental and Social
  (EES) risks and opportunities

• Help PLCs to assess and improve their non-financial performance across EES aspects of their
  organization to optimize business operations, improve competitiveness, and long-term success.

• Provide a mechanism that would allow PLCs to communicate with its stakeholders, including
  investors or its potential investors
  The Road Ahead. The K.PMG Survey o f Corporate Responsibility Reporting 2017. https://assets.kpmg.com/content/dam/kpmg/xx/pdf/2017/10/kpmg-survey-of-corporate-responsibility-reporting-2017. pd f Rased on disclosures made by publicly-listed companies on their Integrated Annual Corporate Governance Report (I-ACGR), 58 companies out o f 270 have published a Sustainability Report

• Enable PLCs to measure and monitor its contributions towards achieving universal targets of
  sustainability, such as the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDG), as well as national policies and programs, such as AmBisyon Natin 2040. The Guidelines recognizes that sustainability reporting is a journey and that the PLCs would be at different levels in this journey; while some may already be advanced, most are just beginning. As such, this Guidelines may be seen as an introductory tool for those companies who are just starting on their journey. Please note that companies are not required to disclose on all topics provided in the Reporting Template (Annex A of the Guidelines). Rather, disclosure should only be on topics determined by companies as material after an assessment of materiality, which is discussed in more detail in the Materiality Assessment
  section. Nevertheless, companies are encouraged to move at any time beyond and disclose more
  information than that required under this Guidelines, especially other initiatives which the company considers as contributing to the UNSDG. For other companies already reporting in accordance with internationally recognized sustainability frameworks or standards, their sustainability reports shall be considered as their compliance. However, they are encouraged to use this as a guide, particularly for climate-related disclosures. SUSTAINABILITY AND SUSTAINABILITY REPORTING Sustainability is defined as "development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs".3 It focuses on how a company manages its economic, environmental and social impacts, risks and opportunities. Disclosure on these non-financial matters are done through sustainability reporting (also known as EESG (economic, environmental, social and governance) reporting, non-financial reporting, or triple bottom line accounting), which is a central element of modern corporate reporting that includes strategy, governance and performance. Sustainability reporting is an organization's practice of reporting publicly on its significant economic, environmental and/or social impacts, in accordance with globally accepted standards. Such disclosures enable organizations to measure, understand and communicate their EESG performance and then set goals, and manage change more effectively. 4 Often, they go hand in hand with the setting of performance targets related to EESG impacts. Sustainability reporting also benefits stakeholders interested in an organization's ability to create value over time, including employees, customers, suppliers, investors, business partners, local communities, legislators, regulators, and policy makers. This promotes transparency and accountability, empowering stakeholders to make informed decisions and helps the company manage its EESG impacts. Globally Recognized Standards/Frameworks in Reporting Sustainability This Guidelines provides a Sustainability Reporting Framework for Philippine PLCs that builds upon four of the globally accepted frameworks, which companies use to report on sustainability and non-financial information - the Global Reporting Initiative's (GRI) Sustainability Reporting Standards, the International Integrated Reporting Council's (IIRC) Integrated Reporting (IR) Framework, the Sustainability Accounting Brundtland, G. "Our Common Future", Report o f the Worl d Commission on Environment and Development (1987). Global Reporting Initiative. "About Sustainability Reporting", https://www.globalreporting.org/information/sustainability￾reporting/Pages/default.aspx accessed on 05 December 2018

Standards Board's (SASB) Sustainability Accounting Standards, and the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosure (TCFD) 5 . The GRI Standards has a comprehensive reporting requirement covering governance, economic, environmental, and social topics. It is also aligned with international standards and normative frameworks such as the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) and the International Labour Organization (ILO) Tripartite Declaration. The <IR> Framework defines six capitals, seven guiding principles, and eight content elements of an integrated report but does not specify topic disclosures and measurement methods. It aims to monitor how the capitals are used and created by the business model and discloses the companies' strategies in light of risks and outlook. The SASB Standards provides industry-based sustainability standards for more than 77 specific industries. It has five general sustainability themes including environment, social capital, human capital, business model and innovation, and leadership and governance. To address sustainability issues, a minimum set of topics for consideration in each industry are also provided, together with quantitative and comparable accounting metrics. 6 The TCFD - a private-sector task force created by the Financial Stability Board - issued its final recommendations on climate- related financial disclosure in June 2017, focusing on climate-related risks, opportunities, and financial impacts, as well as scenario analysis.7 The Task Force's recommendations apply to non-financial companies and financial-sector organizations, including banks, insurance companies, asset managers and asset owners. The table below distinguishes the reporting standards/frameworks and compares the guiding principles for defining report content and sustainability topics covered in each standard/framework. More information can be found in the full guidance documents for these reporting standards/frameworks that can be access via their websites.

In addition to these four frameworks, the International Finance Corporation, the private sector arm of the World Bank Group, has developed a Toolkit for Disclosure and Transparency with guidance for companies in emerging markets. This toolkit aims to help companies begin the process of sustainability reporting and move toward integrated reporting, with guidance on how to development disclosure over time

Benefits nf Sustainability Reporting
Internal Benefits

Effective management of sustainability risks and opportunities

• Sustainable Vision, Strategy and Business Plans
• Improved management systems
• Motivated workforce
  External Benefits
• Improved company reputation and brand value
• Investor attractiveness
• Stakeholder engagement
• Competitive advantage
  Internal Benefits

1. Effective management of sustainability risks and opportunities
   The process involved in sustainability reporting allows companies to know and better understand their sustainability risks and opportunities. This would in turn result to a more effective assessment and management of said risks and opportunities.
2. Sustainable Vision, Strategy and Business Plans
   Sustainability reporting encourages companies to assess, and i f necessary to update, their visions, strategies and business plans to ensure that sustainability is embedded in their organizations. It gives companies the opportunity to determine the necessary changes in their vision, strategies and performance goals/targets for more sustainable operations.
3. Improved management systems
   Sustainability reporting involves tracking and gathering data which when evaluated can identify the areas that need improvement. In addition, public reporting on performance motivates companies to improve in succeeding reporting periods, thus, resulting to improvement in management systems, such as streamlining of processes, reduction of costs and over-all improvement in efficiency and productivity.
4. Motivated workforce
   Creating a sustainability report requires a concerted effort from companies' employees, exposing them to the companies' commitment to sustainability. Research have shown that there is a significant positive relationship between perceived environmental performance and employee

satisfaction8
. Knowing that the company is environmentally and socially conscious increases morale and motivates the workforce to work hard for the company. External Benefits

1. Improved company reputation and brand value
   Having a sustainability report indicates the companies' commitment to full transparency and accurate and complete reporting on both positive and negative news. Moreover, it shows the companies' efforts towards sustainability. This improves the company's image and builds trust and respect for the company. Thereby, improving company reputation and brand value.
2. Investor attractiveness
   Institutional investors are now looking at the ESG practices of companies and makes this a key element in their investment analysis and decisions. In the CFA Institute Survey conducted in 2017, 73% of the survey respondents answered that they take into account ESG issues in their investment analysis and decisions.9 Sustainability reporting, thus, provides institutional investors easy access to ESG information of companies. At the same time, it allows companies to discuss their sustainability performance in a clear and concise manner.
3. Stakeholder engagement
   The process of sustainability reporting provides companies with opportunities for stronger engagement with their stakeholders, which in turn can result in better relationships with them. Stakeholders would feel empowered while the companies can gain valuable insights beneficial to their sustainability journey.
4. Competitive advantage
   Awareness on sustainability reporting is still quite low for most Philippine companies. As such, having a sustainability report may provide companies with a competitive advantage. This competitive advantage may be in any of the abovementioned internal and external benefits. Sustainability Reporting Principles The Reporting Principles for defining report quality guide choices on ensuring the quality of information in a sustainability report, including its proper presentation. The quality of information is important for enabling stakeholders to make sound and reasonable assessments of an organization, and to take appropriate actions.

I. Materiality
An organization is faced with a wide range of topics on which it can report. Relevant topics, which potentially merit inclusion in the report, are those that can reasonably be considered important for reflecting the organization's economic, environmental, and social impacts, or influencing the decisions of stakeholders. In this context, 'impact' refers to the effect an organization has on the economy, the environment, and/or society (positive or negative). A topic can be relevant - and so potentially material

• based on only one of these dimensions.
  For purposes of this Guidelines, and as defined in the GRI Standards, 'impact' shall refer to the effect an organization has on the economy, the environment, and/or society, which in turn can indicate its contribution (positive or negative) to sustainable development. Reporting organizations are also expected to report on their impacts that are directly linked to their activities, products, or services through a business relationship. It should be noted that 'impact" does not refer to an effect upon an organization, such as a change to its reputation.

2. Stakeholder Inclusiveness
   The reporting organization should provide insight into the nature and quality of the organization's relationships with its key stakeholders, including how and to what extent the organization understands, takes into account and responds to their legitimate needs and interests. Stakeholders provide useful insights about matters that are important to them, including economic, environmental and social issues that also affect the ability of the organization to create value.

3. Balance
   Reporting must have no bias in the selection or presentation of information. The reported information shall reflect positive and negative aspects of the reporting organization's performance to enable a reasoned assessment of overall performance. Reporting may also be compared against previously reported targets, projections, and expectations.

4. Completeness
   The reporting organization should consider the extent of information disclosed and its level of specificity or preciseness, which might involve considering potential concerns regarding cost/benefit, competitive advantage, and future-oriented information.

5. Reliability
   The reporting organization should gather, record, compile, analyze, and report information and processes used in the preparation of the report (similar to maintaining an audit trail) in a way that they can be subjected to examination, and that establishes the quality and materiality of the information.

6. Accuracy
   The reported information should be sufficiently accurate and detailed for stakeholders to assess the reporting organization's performance. Reports should include proper citation of information sources, including estimated data and methodology for estimation.

7. Consistency and Comparability
   The information in the report should be presented on a basis that is consistent over time and in a way that enables analysis of any changes in the organization's performance over time. It must also be presented in a way that enables comparison with other organizations to the extent it is material to the organization's own ability to create value over time. SUSTAINABILITY REPORTING FRAMEWORK FOR PHILIPPINE PLCS The over-all sustainability reporting framework for Philippine PLCs follows this structure:
   We conduct our businesses in an ETHICAL and RESPONSIBLE Corporate Governance manner OUR COMPANY is a Sustainable Business Economic We manage our KEY IMPACTS Environmental Social Our products and services create VALUE TO SOCIETY Contribution to Sustainable Development With this framework in mind, this sustainability reporting guidelines is crafted for PLCs operating in the Philippines with a goal of making sustainability reporting relevant and value-adding for companies. The Guidelines focuses on economic, environmental and social disclosures since governance disclosures are made in the Integrated Annual Corporate Governance Report (I-ACGR) submitted separately to SEC. Beyond the purpose of transparency, it is designed to help PLCs assess their non-financial performance across environment, economic, and social aspects of their organization to optimize business operations, improve competitiveness, and long-term success. Disclosures contained in this guidelines are those that contribute to describing and measuring the company's sustainability performance. Broadly, sustainability performance is measured in the way the corporation conducts its business, and how it manages its key economic, environmental and social impacts. It builds on the principles and metrics provided by the GRI

Standards, SASB Standards, TCFD Recommendation and other internationally accepted standards for non￾financial reporting. The terms economic, environmental and social are defined as follows 10 :
Economic Environmental Social
An organization's impact on the economic conditions of its stakeholders and on economic systems at local, national and global levels. It does not focus only on the financial condition of the organization. An organization's impact on living and non-living natural systems, including land, air, water and ecosystems. An organization's internal and external impact/s on the social systems within which it operates. Disclosure Topics Disclosures should reflect the organization's significant economic, environmental, and social impacts and should consider the reasonable expectations and interests of key stakeholders." Disclosures should also address the organization's climate-related risks and opportunities (climate-related issues). Whenever applicable, these disclosures should be quantifiable and measurable, effectively providing a snapshot of an organization's non-financial performance for the reporting period. The quality and content of the disclosures should also be aligned with widely recognized reporting principles. The Disclosures shall be made using the Annex A: Reporting Template. Again, for companies already reporting in accordance with internationally recognized sustainability frameworks or standards, their sustainability reports shall be considered as their compliance. For additional guidance on the disclosure topics, you may refer to Annex B: Topic Guide. "' Adopted from Definitions found in the GRI Standards " SeeGRl Standards 101: Foundation 2016

I. Economic
Economic disclosures relate to how the company directly increases the pool of economic resources that flows in the local and national economy. Included in the disclosures are the risks and opportunities due to climate change, procurement practices with respect to local suppliers and anti-corruption. ECONOMIC Economic Performance Direct Economic Value Generated & Distributed Climate Related Risks and Opportunities Procu Prai rement Sices Proportion of spending on local suppliers Anti-corruption Training on Anti￾corruption Policies and Procedures Incidents of Corruption

2. Environment
   Environmental disclosures relate to how the company manages the natural resources it needs for its business, as well as how it minimizes its negative impacts to the environment, including biodiversity. The company's ability to access materials needed for its operations is critical to company's long-term success.

3. Social
   Disclosures on social topics relate to how the organization manages its relationship with its stakeholders such as employees, customers, suppliers, communities, the public and the government. It includes disclosures on issues related to human rights, access to and quality of products and services, responsible business practices in marketing, customer privacy and data security. SOCIAL Employee Hiring and Benefits Employee Training and Development Occupational Health and Safety Labor Standards and Human Rights Labor￾Management Relations Significant Impacts on Local Communities Customer Satisfaction Marketing and Labelling Diversity, Equal Opportunity & Anti￾Discrimination Customer Privacy

A. UN Sustainable Development Goals
The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a universal call to action, to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity and includes seventeen (17) goals seen below. Disclosure would be required on how companies are able to contribute to the SDGs through their products and services. SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT KCOnWXMB tctMMcawm UmwwmKmt 0UM1TT IDUCHIO li i Kauum ID mmm KSIIIUIMC 47 PJBIMKwr e I I HMIHIGOMS tun Mia mmmm SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOAL S Materiality Assessment In sustainability reporting, materiality is the principle that determines which relevant topics are sufficiently important that it is essential to report on them. The global standards/frameworks for reporting sustainability presented in the introduction (GRI, SASB, 1IRC and TCFD) propose different but related definitions of materiality, which focus on the following elements:

• Significant economic, environmental, and social impacts of the organization
• Information that substantively influence the assessments and decisions of stakeholders, including
  investors
• Matters that substantively affect the organization's ability to create value over the short, medium
  and long term
  A topic may be considered material if it falls into any of the following:

1. It is a KE Y CAPITAL / RISK / OPPORTUNIT Y that impacts value creation

2. Your KE Y BUSINESS ACTIVITIE S impact the topic

3. Your SUBSIDIARIES / CONTRACTORS / SUPPL Y CHAI N contribute significant impacts to
   this topic

4. Your PRODUCTS / SERVICE S contribute impacts to this topic

5. There is a TREN D that points to a future where this topic will become material to you
   The assessment of materiality associated with sustainability issues should take into account their influence on the stakeholders assessments and decisions and the significance of the company's economic, social and environmental impacts. This can be analyzed and reported using a materiality matrix (shown below) that ranks the importance of sustainability issues based on the impact on the company and its stakeholders. Materiality Matrix far Sustainability Issues (Illustrative) Hig h Medium Significance of economic, environmental and social impacts jC OJ ID c O For guidance on possible material topics for your sector/industry, you may refer to the SASB Materiality Map at https://materiality.sasb.org/.

Suggested Materiality Assessment Process
In general, a disclosure is considered material if it reflects the significant economic, environmental, and social impacts of the organization of the stakeholders, and the capacity of the stakeholders to influence the economic, environmental and social impacts or activities of the organization. Please see below the suggested materiality assessment process adopted from the Bursa Malaysia Sustainability Reporting Guide:
Objective and Scope
The objective include the identification of relevant sustainability disclosures to allow stakeholders to make decisions based on these disclosures. Sustainability issues may be taken from board committee reports, risk management assessments, management meetings, government regulations, international standards, stakeholder feedback and complaints, media review, and external peer review. The top management reviews and approve the disclosures that will be reported by the company to ensure integrity and credibility. Process Review Stakeholder Engagement Engaging the stakeholders will enable the company to have a grasp on the sustainability threats and opportunities that the company is not aware of. Prioritization r Prioritization of disclosures that will be reported is based on the impact of such disclosure to the stakeholders and the capacity of the stakeholders to influence the company regarding such disclosure. Management Approach Disclosures should also be accompanied by a management approach which describes the management of material sustainability issues. This includes explaining how the organization (1) avoids, mitigates, or remediates negative impacts to the economy, environment, and society, and enhances positive ones, and (2) addresses its climate-related issues. The management approach also includes an assessment of material risks and opportunities associated with sustainability, management and oversight of such opportunities and risks at the highest level of the organization and performance assessment, using key performance indicators. These approaches can be in the form of organization policies, commitments, goals and targets, responsibilities, resources, grievance mechanisms as well as processes, projects, programs, and initiatives. See GRI 103 for more guidance on the management approach.

Reporting organization should report on the management approach for each material issue with the following information12 :
a. An explanation on the materiality of the topic; b. The boundary for the material topic, which includes a description of where the impacts occur, and the organization's involvement with the impacts.
c. An explanation of how the organization manages the topic and the objectives.
Management Approach Components
When reporting on the management approach for a material topic, the reporting organization should ideally include a description of the following components, when applicable 13 :
i . Policies
Summary or link to the publicly available policies relevant to the topic. ii . Commitments Intent of the organization to manage the impacts related to the topic (e.g., for regulatory compliance, compliance with international standards). iii . Goals and targets Highlights of the following: (i) baseline and context; (ii) expected result (quantitative or qualitative); and (iii) expected timeline for achieving each goal and target.
iv. Responsibilities
Assigned responsibility for managing the topic and whether the responsibility is linked to performance assessments or incentive mechanisms.
v. Resources
Financial, human, or technological resources allocated for managing the topic.
vi. Grievance mechanisms
Highlights of the following: (i) purpose of the mechanism; (ii) activities covered by the mechanism; (iii) how the mechanism is managed; (iv) process to address and resolve grievances, including how decisions are made; and (v) effectiveness criteria used.
vii. Specific actions, such as processes, projects, programs and initiatives
May include actions that aim to avoid, mitigate, or remediate the negative impacts relative to chosen topic; and whether actions take international norms/standards into account. 1 2 This material references GRI Disclosure 103-1 "Explanation o f the Material Topic and its Boundary" from GRI 103: Management Approach 2016 (GRI, 2016).

Annex B: Topic Guide
In line with the Disclosure Topic and Management Approach discussion above, this Annex will provide a guide on what to disclose in the Topics provided in the Reporting Template. The guide is based on the GRI Standards, SASB Standards and Recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures. ECONOMIC Economic disclosures relate to how the company directly increases the pool of economic resources that flows in the local and national economy. Included in the disclosures are the risks and opportunities due to climate change, procurement practices with respect to local suppliers and anti-corruption. Economic Performance Measuring the direct economic value generated, measured as revenue and distributed (costs) shows that an organization does not just create economic value for itself but also ensures that this value flows back to its various stakeholders such as stockholders, suppliers, employees, government, and the community. This also discloses the remaining value that is retained in the company for liquidity and for future investments. Figures for this disclosure can be derived using the audited financial statement with the revenue as the economic value generated for the reporting period. This disclosure answers the questions:
How much direct economic value (revenue) did you generate?

• How much of this flowed back to society (costs disaggregated according to stakeholders)?
• How much of this was retained in the company for liquidity and to fund future investments?
  See GRI 201-1 for more guidance on the disclosure.
  Disclosure of an organization's climate-related issues helps stakeholders make sound and reasonable assessments of the impact climate change may have on the organization. Companies should disclose the climate-related risks and opportunities they have identified and how they assess and manage those issues. See GRI 201-2 and the Recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures for more guidance on the disclosure. Procurement Practices Disclosure on the proportion of spending on local suppliers show's an organization's support for local groups, including those owned by women or members of vulnerable sectors. Supporting local suppliers can indirectly attract additional investments to the local economy. The disclosure describes the policies and practices used to select locally-based suppliers and to promote economic inclusion when selecting suppliers. See GRI 204 for more guidance on disclosures Anti-corruption Disclosures on training on anti-corruption policies and procedures show how the company ensures that it has the necessary capability to fight against corruption through proper training and awareness building for

its directors, management, employees and business partners. Disclosures on incidents of corruption and how the company responded on the incidents show how serious an organization is on combatting corruption. See GRI 205 and SASB Standards General Issue Category: Business Ethics for more guidance on the disclosures. ENVIRONMENT Environmental disclosures relate to how the company manages the natural resources it needs for its business, as well as how it minimizes its negative impacts to the environment, including biodiversity. The company's ability to access materials needed for its operations is critical to company's long-term success. Resource Management Disclosures on resource management such as energy consumption, water consumption, and materials use show how efficiently an organization uses scarce natural resources, which has implications on reduction of environmental impacts from extraction and processing of these resources. The efficiency of managing resources relates to profitability of the organization. See GRI 301, GRI 302, GRI 303 and SASB Standards General Issue Categories: Energy Management: Water and Wastewater Management: Material Sourcing and Efficiency for more guidance on the disclosures. Ecosystems and Biodiversity Disclosure on activities that show how an organization protects, conserves, or rehabilitates ecosystems and biodiversity therein such as in watersheds and coastal and marine areas gives an idea of how that organization appreciates the ecosystem and the services it gives that make business thrive. Ecosystems and Biodiversity is vital to human existence. Companies have the responsibility and clear business case for ensuring ecosystems and biodiversity around its sites are protected and restored. See GRI 303, GRI 304 and SASB Standards General Issue Category: Ecological Impacts for more guidance on the disclosures. Environmental Impact Management Reporting on an organization's impact on air, soil, and water through emissions, wastes, and effluents provides basis for companies to manage these impacts. Responsible companies take an effort to minimize such impacts through cleaner production and pollution prevention measures. Companies should disclose on their performance on these topics including how well the organization mitigates, reduces, and/or prevents these impacts to the environment in compliance to Philippine Environmental Laws or on efforts beyond compliance. See GRI 305, GRI 306 and SASB Standards General Issue Categories: GHG Emissions; Air Quality: Water & Wastewater Management: Waste & Hazardous Materials Management for more guidance on the disclosures. Environmental Compliance Disclosure on an organization's compliance with environmental laws and/or regulations shows an organization's ability to conform to certain performance parameters. The strength of an organization's compliance indicates its concern for environmental protection. See GRI 307 and SASB Standards General Issue Categories: Ecological Impacts;
Air Quality; Water & Wastewater Management; Waste and Hazardous Materials Management for more guidance on the disclosures.

SOCIAL
Disclosures on social topics relate to how the organization relates and manages its relationship with its stakeholders such as employees, communities, customers, and suppliers. Employee Management Disclosing on employee management indicates of how good an employer the organization is in engaging its employees. It also provides a sense on how the organization develops its employees and gives equal opportunity for all, such as indigenous people and those coming from vulnerable groups which include elderly, persons with disabilities, vulnerable women, refugees, migrants, internally displaced persons, people living with HIV and other diseases, solo parents, and the poor or the base of the pyramid (BOP; Class D and E). See GRI401, GRI 402, GRI 404, GRI 405, GRI 406, GRI 407, GRI 102-8, GRI 102-41 and SASB Standards General Issue Categories: Labor Practices; Employee, Engagement Diversity & Inclusion for more guidance on the disclosures. Workplace Conditions,Labor Standards and Human Rights Disclosures on workplace conditions and labor standards show how an organization gives importance to occupational health and safety and how it upholds labor standards and human rights in the workplace. See GRI 403. GRI 408. GRI 409. GRI 412 and SASB Standards General Issue Category; Employee Health & Safety for more guidance on the disclosures. Supply Chain Management Disclosures on supply chain management is most relevant for companies with a significant portion of value creation carried out by suppliers. Organizations can report on how the reporting company ensures that supplier upholds with sustainability standards and practices including compliance to Philippine laws. The reporting company may also disclose how it influences its suppliers to be sustainable through supplier accreditation processes, among other approaches. See GRI 308, GRI 414 and SASB Standards General Issue Category: Supply Chain Management for more guidance on the disclosures. Relationship with Community These disclosures show how an organization meaningfully engages the community around their sites and how it aims to create a net positive impact to its host or neighbors. These also includes how the company contributes in addressing issues of indigenous people and those coming from vulnerable groups [youth, elderly, persons with disabilities, vulnerable women, refugees, migrants, internally displaced persons, people living with HIV and other diseases, solo parents, and the poor or the base of the pyramid (BOP; Class D and E)] in its business operations. See GRI 411. GRI 412. GRI 413 and SASB Standards General Issue Category: Human Rights & Community Relations for more guidance on the disclosures. Customer Management Disclosing on customer management shows how well an organization upholds the rights of its customers to privacy, safety, and security from probable negative impacts of its products and services. See GRI 416, GRI 417, GRI 418 and SASB Standards General Issue Categories: Product
Quality & Safety; Customer Welfare; Selling Practices & Product Licensing for more guidance on the disclosures.

Data Security
Reporting on the number of data breaches, including leaks, thefts and losses of data shows how much importance an organization places on keeping data secure. Organizations can indicate how they manage risks related to the collection, retention and use of sensitive information. See SASB Standards General Issue Category: Data Security for more guidance on the disclosure. UN SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS The SDG Compass can be used as guidance for companies on how they can align their strategies as well as measure and manage their contribution to the realization of the SDGs. The SDG Compass can be accessed at https://sdgcompass.org/ Moreover, a recent publication with the title: Integrating the SDGs into Corporate Reporting: A Practical Guide?0 helps companies of all sizes to prioritize SDG targets to act and report on, set related business objectives, and measure and report on progress. This is a co-production between GRI and UN Global Compact (UNGC). Companies may also use the following framework to determine which area of sustainable development its company is contributing to improve people's quality of life.
