There is a great deal of uncertainty, particularly in the area of social sustainability. While environmental metrics such as CO2 emissions are often already well documented, the question frequently arises as to how social sustainability can be implemented and credibly demonstrated.<\/p>\n\n<p>Our white paper, \u201cShaping Social Sustainability: How Employee Assistance Programs Contribute to the SDGs\u2014and How to Report on Them,\u201d provides guidance on this topic. It shows how EAP services can be systematically linked to the United Nations\u2019 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)\u2014and how companies can make targeted use of these measures to meet their reporting obligations under the CSRD and ESRS.<\/p>\n\n<p>The white paper begins by providing a thorough overview of social sustainability and then presents seven key areas of action, in which EAP services are mapped to specific SDGs. This is supplemented by specific guidance on reporting. In this way, EAPs become a strategic component of corporate social responsibility in practice.<\/p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-left is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-70a107c5 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-50 is-style-downloadgate-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/awo-lifebalance.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2512-White-Paper-Nr.-10-DIN-A4-Soziale-Nachhaltigkeit-gestalten.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Download the White Paper<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-50 is-style-downloadgate-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/awo-lifebalance.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Soziale-Nachhaltigkeit.mp3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Download the white paper as an audio file<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-50 is-style-downloadgate-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/awo-lifebalance.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/2512-White-Paper-Nr.-10-DIN-A4-Soziale-Nachhaltigkeit-gestalten-Summary.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Download the White Paper Summary<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<p><a href=\"#_ftnref1\" id=\"_ftn1\">[1]<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ey.com\/de_de\/insights\/financial-accounting-advisory-services\/ey-corporate-reporting-studie-2024\">https:\/\/www.ey.com\/de_de\/insights\/financial-accounting-advisory-services\/ey-corporate-reporting-studie-2024<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Employee Assistance Programs Contribute to the SDGs\u2014and How to Report on Them According to the latest EY Global Corporate Reporting Survey[1], only about half of financial executives and investors believe it is realistic for companies to achieve their stated sustainability goals.
