Corporate Social Responsibility/ Sustainability Reporting

Sustainability Reporting Resources

CSR reporting is too important to get wrong. Done well, it can help drive performance in the business. It can develop the dialogue between the business and its key stakeholders. And it can focus the company’s mind on where it needs to go.

Sustainability reporting continues to grow.  The number of companies developing sustainability reports grew from 2,000 in 2007 to 3,100 in 2008, according to CorporateRegister.com, an online directory of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainability reports.  According to an on-line poll of sustainability officers, commissioned by CorporateRegister.com, the winner for best CSR report for 2008 was Vodafone, followed by Coca-Cola and Dell. In 2008, Vodafone also placed first in the categories of Relevance & Materiality and Credibility through Assurance.  The winner for best first-time report was Virgin Media, and the winner for Best Carbon Disclosure was Royal Dutch Shell.  Links to each of these reports are available by clicking on the company name above.
