Integrated Reporting in the ASX50
| The impacts of environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues on an organisation’s bottom line are intuitively understood, e.g: the negative impacts of the Deepwater oil spill on BP’s bottom line
the positive impacts of General Electric’s environmental strategy – ecomagination
| It would therefore appear logical that an organisation’s material non-financial risks and opportunities are fully integrated into business strategy and performance reporting
| However, companies that do so effectively are currently the exception rather than the norm

The integrated reporting practices of the ASX50
| The review evaluated the extent to which ASX50 companies have integrated the management and reporting of their financial and non-financial risks and opportunities – looked more for ‘integrated thinking’
| It examined six key aspects that companies need to evolve when embarking upon integrated reporting: purpose, values and strategy management approach risk management measuring and managing performance stakeholder engagement reporting format
| Integrated reporting has to work for you and your stakeholders
| Experimentation over the next few years will give some guidance on what works and what doesn’t work
| Show commitment to sustainability and reporting will become integrated over time
| If successfully implemented, integrated reporting will be a vehicle that drives the integration of sustainability into corporate strategy and day to day decision-making
