Event Overview

Reporting is what makes CSR activity visible and come alive, and it’s where innovation in CSR can start. The CSR report need not play second fiddle to the annual financial report in presenting information that’s critical to understanding company performance

Take part in the business event that shows you how to create a distinctive CSR report that’s a clear asset to your business

The past decade has seen a boom in corporate social responsibility and sustainability reporting - from 360 CSR reports in 1997, to 2,820 in 2007. Now, more than ever, stakeholders are clamoring for accurate and timely corporate responsibility information. And with 80% of the world's 250 biggest multinational companies divulging CR information, there is no longer any doubt about it: The CSR report has become an integral part of corporate strategy.

It’s no secret that a solid approach to CSR can benefit your company greatly. And since your CR report is the perfect tool to communicate your activities to stakeholders, getting it right has become business-critical.

That’s not all.

With the economic climate the way it currently is, uncovering the true value of your CSR report will pay greater dividends than ever before.

‘Getting it right ’ offers unparalleled benefits:

  • Increased stakeholder trust
  • Improved corporate governance
  • Positive perception of your company
  • More easily attracted investment
  • Even enhanced share price value

But don’t be fooled into thinking that just because you produce a report, you will automatically receive these plaudits.

In fact, the danger of producing a report that is anything less than transparent can prove catastrophic. Reputational risk, impact on overall business performance and ultimately bottom line profits are all at stake. Which means there’s heavy pressure to make sure you get it right.

How to overcome the issues you face – and produce CSR reports that are a credit to you and your organisation

The pitfalls you ignore at your peril include making sure all the issues core to your business are covered, ensuring your report is readable and easy to understand, and getting diverse stakeholder groups to read what you produce. And with no globally-accepted way of reporting, and so many options available to you, it’s often tough knowing where to start – let alone finish!

Thankfully, there’s an acknowledged short-cut. An event that will ensure your reports rank alongside the best in the business. And that is why we invite you to join your peers at The Global Corporate Responsibility Reporting Summit.

This year’s event builds upon the success of previous, sell-out reporting and communication business conferences created by Ethical Corporation. If you have attended in the past, you will know why our meetings have such a fine reputation, and are acknowledged as the meeting place for CSR reporting professionals.

You will also know exactly what to expect: industry-led content that is directly relevant to your professional needs and concerns, that is the result of months of meticulous research with your industry colleagues.

You only have to look at this year’s Summit Agenda to know how closely we have listened to you.

For example, we are acutely aware that one of your primary concerns is making sure your report is both qualitative and easily readable by all stakeholders. That is why we have organised separate sessions on reporting formats, innovation, and responding to your stakeholders’ needs.

As the sessions mesh together, you will discover, step-by-step, how to produce reports that shine. We’ll show you how to take full advantage of proven tools and techniques that are specifically designed to help you meet your CR reporting goals.

Learn from the experts, focus on what’s most important to you right now – and make plenty of valuable contacts

Quite simply, the people you’ll be learning from are amongst the most admired CR reporting practitioners in Europe.

You’ll profit from the knowledge, wisdom and hands-on experience of leading practitioners from companies including Camelot, Henkel, Umicore and The Body Shop. And to deliver a rounded viewpoint, you’ll also hear from stakeholder groups, with organisations such as Banco, Transparency International and the Guardian newspaper also represented at senior level.

You’ll notice, too, that the fully customisable nature of the Summit Agenda allows you to cherrypick the sessions you’ll find most useful of all, while gaining a broad overview of other key issues during our morning plenary sessions.

And with the emphasis firmly on real-life reporting practicalities, as opposed to classroom theory and jargon, our speaker faculty will be only too happy to combine forces and answer all your questions – so make sure you bring them along!

Not only is The Global Corporate Responsibility Reporting Summit the place for everyone who wants to ensure their next report is their best-ever, it’s also the place to gain dozens of useful new contacts. With over twelve hours of dedicated networking time, it is – quite frankly – Europe’s best networking event for reporting professionals.

Book now for the event that shows you how to deliver CR reports that are accurate, readable and an even more powerful channel of communication with your stakeholders.

We look forward to welcoming you in Brussels 11th – 12th June, 2009
