Corporate sustainability reporting

Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainability reporting, alternatively known as CSR reporting both fall
under the acronym of CSR. CSR reporting is the process whereby companies - public, private; large and
small - report on their non-financial performance. These reports allow organizations to demonstrate to
stakeholders the impact their activities are having on the environment, society and sustainability. It is
becoming increasingly understood that these issues underpinning the figures on your balance sheet are
vitally important to your reputation and contribute to the overall success of your business.

How performance is communicated is important, especially with investment community interest in non-
financial operating accounts. There has been a rise in triple bottom line reporting with organizations
acknowledging the role of social, economic and environmental factors.

Benefits of Corporate Report Verification

Best practice - improved data and information accuracy means improved business decisions.
Competitive edge - benchmarking against your competitors helps drive business improvement and
stakeholder support.
Minimise risk - independent verification gives confidence in legal compliance.
Reduced costs - improved business decisions drive continual improvement, better use of resources and
help reduce costs.

We were closely involved in helping develop the principles for the AA1000 Assurance Standard and our
experts have participated in GRI’s working groups. We were part of the materiality working group whose
output produced GRI’s Technical Protocol. This publication was created to provide process guidance on how
to define the content of a sustainability report. This includes deciding on the Scope of a report, the range of
topics covered, each topic’s relative reporting priority and level of coverage, and what to disclose in the report
about the process for defining its content.
