What is the future for corporate transparency and sustainability reporting—sometimes called ‘non-‘ or ‘extra-financial’ reporting? This is the question we tackle in The Transparent Economy, a joint report by Volans and the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI).
The task: to look out to 2020, analysing the trends that will drive—or constrain—greater transparency and accountability. The study included an online survey of the GRI community, focusing on seven major trends, subsequently boiled down into the TIGERS agenda (Traceability, Integrated Reporting, Government Leadership, Environmental Boundaries, Rating and Ranking, and Shadow Economies).
