Europe’s largest gathering of sustainability professionals specialising in reporting and communications will meet in London

London, June 2014 - ‘If you’re into sustainability reporting, there’s nowhere else to be’ as one spirited participant observes late November last year. Thought-leaders specialising in reporting and communications have been meeting at Ethical Corp’s CR Reporting & Comms Summit in London for nearly a decade to discuss the finer points of what constituents reporting best practice. This November they’ll be back with a strong focus on value creation for stakeholders, both internal and external, company’s financial performance and generating positive change.

Today most, if not all sectors are faced with the same disruptive issues: increasing disclosure pressure from regulators, numerous index submissions and multi-stakeholder demands to deliver the right information.

These distractions are preventing businesses focus on what really matters to their organisation. As such, the aim for Ethical Corp’s 8th Annual CR Reporting & Communications Summit is to help companies bring sustainability to life and create value. Focusing on these bigger issues to improve organisation’s reporting process is where thought leaders are heading. Getting this right is crucial to building a sustainably viable commercial business.

Europe’s largest gathering of sustainability professionals specialising in reporting and comms – 89% past delegates were from Europe - will attract 150+ top brands from 9 industries. Across the two days, the following leaders will share best practice on Europe’s top issues right now:

• Solvay’s CSO gives practical advice to approaching challenges around integrated reporting
• BT builds the business case for getting closer to finance teams
• How Tesco brings sustainability to life through effective stakeholder messaging
• Free guidance from the IIRC and GRI
• RWE Energy’s case study on partnering up with peers to reach the masses and drive positive change
