14 WBCSD Redefining Value Accelerate progress to a world where more sustainable companies are recognized and rewarded, and therefore are more successful. Integrate natural and social capital measurement and valuation into corporate performance management. Improve the effectiveness of nonfinancial internal and external reporting. Measurement, valuation and reporting reflect the true value of a company and discloses true profit and true cost. 14

15 TRENDS in CORPORATE REPORTING

16 Reporting is a dynamic process And 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

22 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 22
