regarding esg information disclosure, the author recently visited a number of listed companies in zhejiang province, including many large a-share listed companies that are industry leaders, and discovered many practical problems.

first, information collection is difficult. since esg information disclosure is not obviously related to the company's main business, almost all listed companies' esg-related work is not linked to the kpis of departments and employees. as a result, when collecting and disclosing information and data, departments are not very motivated and shirk responsibility, and the staff responsible for information disclosure complain. at the same time, the collection of esg disclosure information and data is basically manual, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and there are also problems with the security and retention of the collected information and data. larger listed companies generally invite professional consulting agencies and information disclosure departments to form project teams, hold mobilization meetings, conduct research and information collection department by department, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, so the cost is also high. small and medium-sized listed companies are extremely concerned about cost and cost-effectiveness, and the need to complete disclosure work at low cost and high efficiency is more urgent.

in fact, the best solution to problems such as information collection is to use information technology. at present, some companies have made collection forms and questionnaires into small programs for online reporting and delivery. however, for listed companies, esg information disclosure is an ongoing work that needs to be done every year. the continuity, integrity and secure storage of data are very important. therefore, a complete esg information collection system will become the infrastructure for esg information disclosure. for large companies, incorporating the esg information system into the company's original information construction and management based on business characteristics and needs is a "long-term and stable" path. small and medium-sized companies can use modular esg information tools to improve efficiency and reduce costs.
