ESG Report Deck

About this template

Dividing 14 slides into four ESG blocks

Remove the cover, agenda and closing plus the three shared slides (base year versus reporting year, key metrics, trend bars) and four divider-plus-body pairs remain. They are already filled as environmental performance, social performance, governance and external ratings – the three pillars plus one slide for outside assessment. It suits a sustainability summary, a board or investor briefing, or a supplier session of 30 minutes or less, and does not replace an assured report.

Seven agenda lines, four body blocks

Slide 2 carries seven lines: 01 environmental performance / 02 social performance / 03 governance / 04 external ratings / 05 base year versus reporting year / 06 key figures / 07 trend analysis, and every one of them has a slide behind it. The first four carry a divider and a body slide; the last three map one-to-one onto slide 11, slide 12 and slide 13. The agenda wording matches the divider titles exactly, so rename a section in both places. If disclosure response or a reduction plan needs its own block, duplicate the slide 9 and 10 pair twice, continue the SECTION numbering as 05 and 06 to reach 18 slides, and add two agenda lines. If the slot is short, drop the ratings block instead and carry the rating as one tile on slide 12.

Handling the numbers on the body slides

Each body slide takes a title, one explanatory line and three items, and the items are written as short phrases of metric plus value, such as “Scope 1 emissions 8,400 tCO2e”. Keep that form rather than expanding into sentences, but add a comparison alongside each value.

• Environment: Scope 1 emissions 8,400 tCO2e, renewable share 34%, waste recycling rate 71%. If Scope 2 and 3 are excluded, say so at the foot of the slide.
• Social: injury rate held at 0.12%, human rights due diligence at 86 suppliers, 12 billion KRW community fund disbursed. Eighty-six of how many suppliers is the question that follows.
• Governance: outside directors at 62%, 14 board meetings with 97% attendance, 9 ethics reports closed. If reports received and reports closed differ, give both.
• External ratings: integrated rating up from B+ to A, an overseas agency holding BBB, three deduction items resolved. Name the rating agency and the assessment year; a rating with no agency is not evidence.

The metric cards and the emissions bars

Slide 12 shows four cards – Scope 1 emissions 8,400t, renewable conversion 34%, integrated ESG rating A, 86 suppliers assessed – each of which also appears on a body slide, so the deck is internally consistent. The problem is that all four are wins; put one shortfall in and pick it up as an improvement plan in the next section, and the Q&A gets shorter. Slide 13 falls from 132 in 2022 to 118, 97 and 84 in 2025. It is built for a metric where a fall is good news, so put the unit and the reduction target line in the label, or a shrinking bar reads as decline. A fifth year means duplicating a shape.

What reviewers flag

• Leaving the sample figures on slide 11 (12,400 tCO2e in the 2022 base year against 8,900 in 2026). Your reduction rate depends entirely on the base year you pick, so change the years and the reporting boundary along with the numbers.
• Reordering the three lines on either side of slide 11 – greenhouse gas, renewable share, share of women in management – so the same metric no longer faces itself across the slide.
• Publishing emissions without stating which scopes are included and what the base year is.
• Showing the rating without the deductions – the body slide says three deduction items were resolved, and someone will ask which three.
