ACCSR provides the support you need throughout the sustainability reporting process – whether you are just setting out or are an experienced reporter. Our range of services includes comprehensive planning, development and report writing, through to getting your report checked and assured.
As trainers certified by the Global Reporting Initiative (the major international standard for sustainability reporting), we offer short courses that will give your staff the knowledge they need to produce a best practice sustainability report.
We have worked with some of Australia’s leading companies to produce outstanding sustainability reports. Some of our clients have won awards for their sustainability reports, like Toyota for its 2008 report (ACCA Award) and Pacific Hydro for its 2009 report (CorporateRegister Award). Our clients have included AustralianSuper, Xstrata Coal, Stockland, Lihir Gold, Corporate Express, CPA Australia, and many others. Read about how we’ve helped produce great sustainability reports.
Our reporting team brings a wealth of knowledge of international frameworks for sustainability reporting and skills in stakeholder research and writing to help you produce a report that will meet the demands of your stakeholders for transparency and accountability.
We tailor our approach to your needs and your level of experience. Sometimes, all you require is stakeholder feedback on your previous efforts to help inform evolving understanding of materiality. If it is your first report, you may want to consider assistance to work out what you should report (what is material to your organisation), how to get the data and how to meet reporting standards.
ACCSR offers a suite of services, including:
- Helping you to plan, develop and write your report
- Stakeholder research and analysis to determine what is material for your report
- Benchmark your organisation against your peers or against international frameworks of sustainability such as the UN Global Compact, the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) G3.1 guidelines or ISO 26000
- Provide advice on GRI performance indicators and application levels
- Establish data collection systems and manage information gathering
- Carry out an expert review of your existing report and recommend actions to improve your next report
- Help you prepare for assurance
- Check your report against GRI guidelines to ensure compliance
- Provide a GRI Third Party check of your report
- Help you participate in corporate responsibility ratings such as the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) and the Corporate Responsibility Index (CRI)
- Training in the five key steps of reporting to give your reporting team the skills and confidence to tackle your sustainability report.
