The Future of CSR Reporting: Integrated Reports

The corporate social responsibility (CSR) reporting community is now calling for standardized Integrated Reports – reports that combine the financial information of annual reports with the environmental, social and governance (ESG) data traditionally included in CSR reports.

Companies already producing integrated reports include American Electric Power, Philips, Novo Nordisk, BASF, Anglo Platinum and Natura.  These “one report” companies note that, among other things like supporting a sustainable society and creating a consistent internal and external message, these combined reports reduce complexity and costs.

To learn more about how putting all this corporate information into one report could help the majority of stakeholders, take a look at these articles written by several attendees of the Amsterdam Global Conference on Sustainability and Transparency, held in The Netherlands from May 26 to 28.
