The Future We Want Paragraph 47 – Rio+20 Engaging major group and other stakeholders
We acknowledge the importance of corporate sustainability reporting, and encourage companies, where appropriate, especially publicly listed and large companies, to consider integrating sustainability information into their reporting.
We encourage industry, interested government and relevant stakeholders, with the support of the United Nations system, as appropriate, to develop models for best practice and facilitate action for the integration of sustainability reporting into account experiences from already existing frameworks and paying particular attention to the needs of developing countries, including for capacity building.
