Communicating on your sustainable management strategy
Towards a more objective communication of companies’ sustainable management results.
Today, companies are subject to extensive monitoring and those at the forefront have understood the necessity of informing shareholders and other stakeholders of the results of their sustainable strategy. It has become important for Boards of Directors and Management to also monitor the non-financial aspects of the company’s performance.
The advantages of proactive corporate responsibility specifically include staff motivation, attracting and retaining talent, improving management systems and raising awareness and management of risks. Other advantages of a responsible and ethical process for the company are that it encourages support for innovation, improves reputation through transparency and builds shareholder loyalty in the long-term, which means that favourable financing conditions are possible.
Over and above the risks and opportunities identified, the challenge is to define a line of behaviour and then to develop an appropriate corporate responsibility strategy along with a reliable and solid reporting system.
