New publications

Sustainability reporting publications

• New research from KPMG and GRI indicates that reporters are ignoring climate change risks

• The report, which studied 50 companies that produce sustainability reports using the GRI Guidelines, found that companies are disclosing more information on the positive business opportunities arising from climate change than they are on the risks

• Black Sun publishes research on the real business benefits to be gained from corporate reporting

• The report, launched in June 2007, examines the real business case behind company reporting. A total of 50 senior executives from FTSE 350 companies were interviewed to ascertain whether their companies had benefited from the requirements for increased disclosures and transparency of narrative disclosures in annual reports.
