Welcome back. I hope you are enjoying the video series and
have been using the resources provided. In conjunction with our discussions on
benchmarking, I wanted to briefly discuss Sustainability Reports. A
Sustainability Report is your company’s opportunity to transparently
communicate your Corporate Responsibility initiatives and accomplishments to
stakeholders, suppliers, customers, and the public. In the links below, I have
included a great report by Ernst & Young and the Boston College Center for
Corporate Citizenship on the value of sustainability reporting. I have also included
some examples of Sustainability Reports, including that of my consulting
company.
Upon review, you will see that there is measurable benefit
to quantifying and disclosing sustainability related information. One of the
first steps in creating these reports is benchmarking. Without the data, you
can’t report your progress or define your goals. This month’s webinar, on November 26, will discuss how to take
the critical data you have collected and format it in a coherent, usable way.
As you take a look at these reports, you will see that no two are exactly the
same, as they each quantify key initiatives specific to the reporting organization.
Organization specific reporting is essential to leveraging Corporate
Responsibility to advance your business.
