In the past decade, sustainability regulations have multiplied at an unprecedented rate. Since 2011, a staggering 1,255 green regulations have been introduced worldwide, compared to just 493 between 2001 and 2010. The current number of active sustainability regulations represents a 647% global increase since the turn of the millennium.¹

This exponential growth reflects the growing priority governments and investors place on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues. For example, the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) now requires comprehensive ESG disclosures from nearly 50,000 companies, while California’s Climate Corporate Accountability Act (SB 253) mandates emissions reporting for businesses with over $1 billion in annual revenue.

For growing organizations—particularly those planning to go public or operating in high-impact industries—understanding and meeting evolving sustainability standards is more urgent than ever. Non-compliance can result in significant financial penalties, reputational damage, and loss of investor confidence. A recent study found that 79% of investors consider ESG practices in their decision-making, meaning a company’s ESG performance can directly impact its valuation and access to capital.

But navigating the intricate web of ESG regulations poses significant challenges:

• Diverse requirements that vary by region, industry, and company size
• Substantial time, expertise, and financial investment required for compliance
• Constantly shifting regulatory landscape that’s difficult to stay current with
• Complex reporting processes that can take up to 12 months to complete

That’s where Regulation Radar comes in.
