Abstract

Financial reporting and investor relations serve important roles as a means of communication between corporate management and the company’s stakeholders, including investors. This chapter outlines why reporting matters, and how it falls short. It also shows how integrated reporting (combining financial, social and environmental value) might be an improvement. Integrated reporting is about understanding how an organisation creates integrated value and how its activities affect the capitals (human, social and natural capitals, next to financial capital) it relies upon for this. Emerging international sustainability reporting standards will spur integrated reporting. Ultimately, integrated reporting is related to integrated thinking, which takes into account the connectivity and interdependencies between the financial, social, human and environmental capitals that affect an organisation’s ability to create integrated value over time. But investors are slow to ask questions about this new information, as their main focus is still on the financials.
