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.
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!

TRUE VALUE
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
cycles
