Nina Eisenman hosts a webinar with the IIRC’s communications director, Jonathan Labrey, as part of an initiative to educate IROs in how they can ‘uncover new ways to create value throughout their organizations.’ The online discussion, entitled An Introduction to Integrated Reporting, will also allow IROs to ask their own questions about the framework in a Q&A with Eisenman and Labrey.

organization’s economic, environmental and social
impacts with an eye toward meeting “the needs of
the present without compromising the ability of
future generations to meet their own needs.”
—The World Commission on Environment and Development, 1987
“Non-financial reporting, also known as sustainability
reporting, is the practice of measuring, disclosing,
and being accountable to internal and external
stakeholders for organizational performance towards
the goal of sustainable development.”

21. <IR>: WHAT IS IT?
“Integrated Reporting builds on the practice of financial reporting and
ESG [sustainability] reporting. It equips companies to manage their
operations, brand and reputation strategically and to manage better any
risks that may compromise the long-term sustainability of the business.”
– Professor Mervyn King, Chairman, IIRC and Chairman for the King Committee on Corporate Governance
“An integrated report is a concise communication
about how an organization’s strategy, governance,
performance and prospects, in the context of its
external environment, lead to the creation of value
over the short, medium and long term.”
“Integrated Reporting
emphasizes the
importance of
integrated thinking
within the organization.”

23. INTEGRATED REPORTING: CONNECTIVITY
Connectivity
•
Various operational units contribute to the report
•
Connectivity not only in reporting but in the management of the business
•
Better risk management
•
Better understanding of where value is actually generated within the business
•
Unlocks efficiencies
“In a today’s fast changing environment, where expectation of
customers are changing much more rapidly, this concept of
being connected to all parts of the business, in having one
cohesive story and understanding of where value is generated
actually reduces those risks and enables a business to be far
more flexible and responsive to the needs of its stakeholders.”

Externalities
•
Integrated reports measure and report on externalities
•
The business’ impact on the environment, society, local employee base, supply chain
•
The business’ role in society and if it is creating or depleting value
•
Reputation management
“The reputation of the business holds a lot of value,
and often it’s the strategic communication people who
are are the guardians of that reputation. If the business
is not on top of its impact, other people, NGOs, civil
society, will be —often in a much more negative way.
It’s far better for the business to be ahead of the story
and on top of its impact than allow others to do so.”

•
Business put in the context of society and the broader economy
•
Allows investors a long term view of the resilience of the business
“How is this business using the resource that are
available to it, to protect itself, to enhance value, to
manage resources including human resources,
intellectual resources, and natural resources, in order
to deliver value over the short, medium and long term.”

Strategy
•
Integrated reporting is all about understanding and communicating the business’ strategy
•
All internal units aligned around a cohesive strategy
“This is key for communicators—integrated reporting is all about
understanding and communicating the strategy of the business and
making sure that all the different elements in the business are
connected to that strategy—that the reporting process is cohesive
and consistent with that strategy. That is a key differentiator between
integration reporting and other forms of reporting.”

European Union Legislative Proposal
•
In February 2013 the European Commission adopted a legislative proposal requiring all EU companies with
more than 500 employees to disclose information on environmental, social and employee-related matters
•
The proposal is now with EU legislators, the European Parliament and the Council of Ministers for adoption
“Europe is recovering from the worst crisis in 50 years. We need more responsible companies.
Existing corporate governance principles should be more effectively implemented. Company
boards should reflect gender, geographical, educational, professional and age diversity.
Companies should meet their obligations towards employees, consumers, local communities
and public authorities. Most importantly, the way these commitments are met should be made
public and transparent. That’s why non-financial reporting is such an important issue. I am
convinced this serves the interests of investors, shareholders, employees and society
at large. In parallel, this is an asset for companies themselves.”
