For those of you who are interested in sustainability/CSR reporting, the
KPMG
International Survey of Corporate Responsibility Reporting 2005 can be
downloaded from the following website:
http://www.wimm.nl/publicatiesUK/publicationLijst.asp
Like in the case of the previous surveys (in 1999 and 2002), the research
was carried
out by KPMG with the University of Amsterdam Business School.
The report contains sections on trends in sustainability/CSR reporting by
the Fortune
global 250 and by the top 100 companies in 16 countries, and on the contents
of the reports (governance, stakeholder engagement, social, economic and
environmental issues), assurance and trends in particular sectors and
regions.
Journal articles on the study are forthcoming (for papers on the previous
ones see references and abstracts further down on the same webpage).
