Sustainability / CSR Reporting Update – May 2009

We are at the height of the 2009 Sustainability / CSR Reporting season at the moment and I have seen some very interesting reports being published so far.

Todays post is about three of the most interesting I have come across in the past few weeks. I have also added a shortlist of other reports I would like to share with you.

My Top Three

As you would expect from a consumer product driven company, this reporting website is visually very good and easy on the eye. There is more then enough content to get a good overview of their company specific issues such as Privacy, Environmental Impact of their products, supply chain management, socio-economic impact, etc.. All in all a very good reporting approach in my opinion.

bat Sustainability / CSR Reporting Update   May 2009 British American Tobacco (BAT)
One of the important players in the Sustainability / CSR Reporting field in my opinion. They have been reporting at a very high quality level for many years now and in my opinion are still doing a great job at this. Don’t get me wrong; I do not agree with their product range (ie. Tobacco) but they are still one of the best in terms of stakeholder engagement and Sustainability /CSR Reporting. This report is definitely worth checking out. The fact that they explicitly state what they have and what they have not reported on throughout the website stands out in my opinion. Very ‘material’ as BAT would say.

logo lafarge Sustainability / CSR Reporting Update   May 2009 This is an interesting report with a lot of detailed information. Maybe too much text and information for a web format at times. The only real downside in my opinion is the presentation. This could have been a bit more engaging at times. But I guess this is the trade off you have to take for granted when you want to provide so much information.

Here are some other Sustainability / CSR Reports that I came across over past few weeks but did not review in further detail:

  • Hi Fabian, this is already a nice lists of CSR reports. I noticed HP’s Global Citizenship Report is missing. We launched the online version (http://www.hp.com/go/report) last month. My colleague, Daniela Opp, has summarized some of the main points in her blog entry (http://www.communities.hp.com/online/blogs/csre... ). At the same time we published a condensed report for our customers (for the EMEA Global Citizenship Customer Report go to http://www.hp.com/hpinfo/globalcitizenship/gcre...). This report does not only give an overview of our CSR activities in 2008 but provides our customers with useful tips and advice. Cheers, Jeannette Weisschuh
  • Fabian agree w comments about BAT. Don't agree w the product but their sustainability practice is second to none. Its the biz model and distant history that is the problem.

    SAP report will be released next week - hope you look out for it at www.sap.com .
    There will be opportunity there for stakeholders to comment openly on the report and our approach.
