Grading Sustainability Reports: Creating the Curve

More and more companies have recently taken to producing sustainability reports. The reports coming out of companies are more comprehensive than ever before. I would say that this is reflective of the fact that companies are beginning to understand the importance of reporting. Many of them are even creating special positions for evaluation of the envionmental standards of a particular company. I am very happy to see the increasing awaerness and willingness to act coming from companies across all industries.

Over the past six years, entries into the Ceres-ACCA North American Awards for Sustainability Reporting have grown five-fold from 20 in its first year to 102 this year. This increase reflects the significant growth in companies publishing sustainability reports. With the increased calls from consumers, shareholders, and other stakeholders for greater corporate transparency and the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) publishing the third version of its Sustainability Reporting Guidelines in 2006, more companies from all sectors are creating these reports to explain and document their economic, environmental, and social performance.
