When can we believe a CSR report? New report out now

A new report reveals previously unpublished information operating at the heart of corporate trust: CSR report assurance.

‘Assure View - The CSR Assurance Statement Report’ is the first to offer an independent, comprehensive overview of the field. It outlines who uses assurance, who provides assurance and what methods are used and is a useful reference point for all stakeholders.

In 2008 some 3,000 companies are expected to publish a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) report to document their policies and performance on key issues, including environmental and social activities. Of these, around 750 will include a third-party assurance statement addressing the report’s credibility and completeness.

From an examination of leading assurance statements and commonly referenced initiatives, together with its own experience in this field, CorporateRegister.com identifies the key elements which lead to meaningful assurance statements.

Assure View has been sponsored by four of the world’s leading assurors active in this field: SGS, KPMG, LRQA and The Reassurance Network.
