WBCSD Redefining Value

14

Integrate natural and social capital measurement and valuation into corporate performance management.

Improve the effectiveness of non-financial internal and external reporting.

Measurement, valuation and reporting reflect the true value of a company and discloses true profit and true cost.

Accelerate progress to a world where more sustainable companies are recognized and rewarded, and therefore are more successful.

TRENDS in CORPORATE REPORTING

Reporting is a dynamic processAnd not a goal in itself, but an instrument to:

1. improve the effectiveness of corporate investments in sustainability

2. trigger internal changes towards integrated decision-making

Key role to play in accelerating transition towards true value

A complex landscape requiring business leadership!

INTEGRATED VALUATION

What about corporate practice? Less than 12% of reports reviewed reflect those sustainability

issues considered to be material to the business.

80% of WBCSD members produce a stand-alone

sustainability report with the rest developing self-declared

integrated reports

75% use the GRI Guidelines with an upward trend to

combine the use of several frameworks

60% of total reports reviewed have some form of assurance

on their sustainability disclosures with limited level as the

dominant form

When known, the average time period between year-end and

the publication date is approximately six months reflecting a

disconnect between sustainability and financial reporting
