Sustainability Discussion & Analysis (SD&A)

Sustainable businesses meet the needs of present owners without compromising the ability of future owners to meet their own needs.

 

Why SD&A is Unique

 

  • Like MD&A it is forward-looking, blends quantitative and qualitative information, and has a monetary bottom line (future shareholder value)
  • Unlike MD&A materiality and due diligence criteria are explicit
  • Like nonfinancial reporting, it considers social and environmental indicators
  • Unlike nonfinancial reporting, nonmonetary indicators always connect to monetary ones and focus is on informing management, not what it reports to others

 

How SD&A Works


  • Starts with a quantifiable "wealth" model clients tailor
  • Provides industry-level benchmarks for the model
  • "Recycles" data clients already report
  • Mines data from existing reports of comparators
  • Handles qualitative (word-oriented) as well as numeric information
  • Applies a materiality filter
  • Leaves management to decide confidentiality filter
