Translating sustainability documentation – three important factors

Work on sustainability and the environment is an important element of modern corporate strategies. The many benefits of getting your sustainability documentation translated include:

• enhanced compliance with local and international standards and regulations,
• strengthened trust and competitiveness in the global market,
• simplified information sharing both internally and with international stakeholders and
• increased transparency.

To ensure that you communicate your social, environmental and financial responsibility initiatives accurately in multiple languages, it is important that your documents are professionally translated by specialists who are up to date with developments in the changeable world of sustainability. This is exactly what Novoterm has to offer. We can translate your sustainability material into more than 40 languages and provide proofreading and language reviewing services too.

The benefits of translating sustainability documentation

Sustainability work isn’t just about protecting the environment and securing the future for generations to come. It also provides a number of other benefits such as improving the efficiency of resources, boosting the image of your brand and increasing your competitive edge. Private customers as well as authorities and companies have increasingly high expectations of social and environmental responsibility when they are choosing which organisations to support and collaborate with.

By translating your environmental and sustainability guidelines and policies professionally, you are ensuring that your subcontractors and employees at all levels in every country can understand and comply with the requirements and expectations that are being placed on them and eliminating the risk of any misunderstandings.

To expand into new markets, comply with the requirements of international standards and regulations and benefit from all the advantages that sustainability efforts offer, you may need to have your sustainability documentation and communication translated.

Why you should choose a human translator who specialises in sustainability

Although machine translation has made some progress in recent years with neural translation engines and AI’s large language models, using it still carries major risks.

The strict regulations, the niche terminology, and constant development involved in the sphere of sustainability, along with the need to communicate in a pedagogical, clear, and convincing way, means that machine translation requires cautious use. Whether you need to translate your organisation’s sustainability policy, sustainability reports in accordance with CSRD, SDG action plans or sustainability assessments within the ESG framework, Novoterm’s translators have the necessary skills and experience to translate your sustainability texts. We are well versed in industry-specific terms and concepts, understand the importance of using the relevant theories consistently and have the linguistic skills that are essential to deliver translations that are accurate – both in their content and in the terminology used – in more than 40 languages.

A changeable field demands up-to-date knowledge

The field of sustainability is constantly developing. New research results are presented, new regulations are stipulated, new frameworks are developed and standards are updated. To receive accurate translations of your sustainability documents, you need to commission specialist translators who keep up to date with new developments and changes. By always keeping up to date with the latest developments we are able to maintain our high standards so that we can help you to maintain yours.
