mittefinantsandmete

Mittefinantsandmete is an Estonian term that translates to "non-financial data" or "non-financial information" in English. It refers to qualitative and quantitative information that companies disclose regarding their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance. This type of data goes beyond traditional financial metrics and provides insights into a company's impact on society and the environment, as well as its ethical conduct and internal management practices.

The disclosure of mittefinantsandmete has become increasingly important for stakeholders, including investors, consumers, and regulators, who are seeking a more holistic view of corporate responsibility and sustainability. These disclosures can cover a wide range of topics, such as carbon emissions, waste management, employee diversity and inclusion, human rights, ethical supply chains, and corporate governance structures.

In Estonia and across the European Union, there is a growing emphasis on standardized reporting frameworks for mittefinantsandmete. The Non-Financial Reporting Directive (NFRD), and its successor, the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), mandate that certain large companies disclose non-financial information. This aims to enhance the comparability and reliability of sustainability reporting, enabling stakeholders to make more informed decisions. Companies are increasingly integrating ESG considerations into their overall business strategy and reporting, recognizing the value of transparency in building trust and long-term value.
