Subject. This article explores the trends in disclosure in public reporting and integration into the process of substantiating investment decisions of information about the risks of organizations' activities, their impact on sustainable development at the global and corporate levels.
Objectives. The article aims to study risk as an accounting category and object of corporate reporting in the context of improving the accounting financial and non-financial reporting of organizations and determine the impact of systemic integration of risks, including the environmental, social and governance ones, in the process of making investment decisions on interaction with investors and sustainable development of companies.
Methods. For the study, I used analysis and synthesis, detailing and generalization, comparison, abstraction, analogy, and systems, strategic, and risk-oriented approaches.
Results. The article clarifies the definition of risk and proposes a classification of risks of the organization's activities, taking into account the provisions of the concept of six types of capital and the concept of sustainable development. It provides suggestions for disclosure in an integrated risk report. Based on empirical research, the article defines the recommended limits of disclosure of information on risks by organizations in the framework of ensuring transparency of reporting. It analyzes the factors that encourage economic actors to disclose sustainability risks in corporate reporting and the role of ESG risk information for investors.
