CSR REPORTING
A CSR, corporate social responsibility,
or sustainability report is a periodical
(annual) report published by companies
with the goal of sharing their corporate
social responsibility actions and results.
The report synthesizes and makes public
the information organizations decide to
communicate regarding their commitments
and actions in social and environmental
areas.
CSR REPORTING
It can be defined as "the
notification process of social
and environmental impacts
caused by company economic
activity to certain interest groups
and the company as a whole."
CSR REPORTING
The main intention of a CSR or sustainability report is
to improve the transparency of organizations’ activities.
The goal is twofold:
1. On one hand, CSR reports
aim to enable companies to
measure the impact of their
activities on the environment, on
society and on the economy (the
famous triple-bottom-line).
CSR REPORTING
2. On the other hand, a CSR or
sustainability report also allows
companies to externally communicate
with their stakeholders what are their
goals regarding sustainable
development and CSR.
IMPORTANCE OF
CSR REPORTING
1. CSR reports are important
since they allow companies to
estimate the impact of their
activities on the environment,

meaningful data collected for
the CSR report, companies
have a chance to improve their
operations and to reduce costs.

efforts from different departments,
employees end up knowing that the
company is focusing on CSR and
sustainability, which is proven to
increase employee retention and
decrease turnover (and its costs).

CSR REPORTING
4. CSR and sustainability report
can help companies to better
engage with their interested
parties which may bring some
benefits to the table.
