Roundtable on Sustainability Reporting
Stakeholder expectations towards sustainability reports are rising. Organizations are eager to find ways to create value from their sustainability reports beyond mere reporting. Updated guidelines require organizations to adjust the contents of their reports. Newly developed conceptions of value are challenging organizations to innovate their approaches to reporting about their sustainability commitments and performance. The quality of both the process, the contents and the impact of sustainability reports is expected to improve each year.
Do you recognize this? If so, then you are kindly invited to participate in the Roundtable on Sustainability Reporting and join a unique and inspirational forum to learn about sustainability reporting from peers, experts and best practice that will spark reflective action in practice.
