BrownFlynn would like to congratulate Target for publishing its first annual Corporate Responsibility Report with the Global Reporting Initiative. The completion of the report is an exciting milestone to achieve, especially because Target is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. Target indicates that its website has highlighted corporate responsibility activities for the past two years, but “stakeholders wanted one place for all the information,” so it decided to release a report.
The 2011 Corporate Responsibility Report outlines progress towards June 2011 goals and introduces four new goals that address education, the environment, and team member well-being. Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, Tim Baer states that “Target’s corporate responsibility goals foster greater transparency and accountability on initiatives that help put more U.S. children on the path to graduation, reduce our impact on the environment, and help Target team members and their families live healthy, balanced lives.”
Chairman, President and CEO, Gregg Steinhafel describes that “with great opportunities come great responsibilities, and as Target continues to grow and evolve, our team is passionately committed to embracing our responsibilities with the same discipline, dedication and enthusiastic service that have distinguished our work for the past five decades.”
