5 Denmark/Sweden Denmark: 1,100 largest companies to include CSR policy in annual report or explain why no policy is in place ( comply or explain ) Exemption: Communication on Progress (UNGC/UNPRI) Sweden: State-owned companies to report on CSR (GRI) 5

6 Private regulatory frameworks Dutch Accounting Guidelines (Standards) of the Dutch Accounting Standards Board (Raad voor de Jaarverslaggeving) -> Guideline 400 re Annual Report GRI Guidelines on CSR reporting 6

7 Content and status Dutch Accounting Guidelines Proceed from: statutory provisions (Book 2 DCC) Incorporate: rulings Enterprise Chamber and Supreme Court (NL) Consider: applicable International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as endorsed by EU Courts consider DAG in judging annual accounts/reports 7

8 Guideline 400 DASB (report) general information company + enterprise; legal group structure, organisation, core activities, important elements company policy analysis of the financial information in annual accounts; important risks; including non-financial key-indicators, including environmental and employee matters CSR aspects business activities company + int l supply chain; main problems + challenges; environmental + social + economic aspects company policies on above-mentioned issues; implementation thereof; results; expectations reflection of with stakeholder dialogue 8

What is your perspective? 14
