Dear colleague,

There has been a 30% jump in the number of CSR reports being produced annually over

the last 3 years.

Nearly 80% of the FTSE 250 are now reporting on their social and environmental performance.

CSR Reporting is simply no longer an optional extra for the responsible business.

It’s no surprise, considering the current economic climate. We can’t really blame stakeholders for

demanding that companies be more transparent and accountable on sustainability issues!

Not only are CSR reports now basically a requirement for corporations, they are expected to be more

precise and detailed than ever before - whilst still being readable and engaging for your legions of

stakeholders.

It’s a pretty tough balancing act – and it’s not going to get easier any time soon.

And that’s where our CSR Reporting Summit comes in.

The conference, now in its third year, is designed to give the CSR professionals all the tools they need to

create “a new CR reporting model, one that better serves the needs of our economies, societies and the

environment” – as Ernst Ligteringen, Chief Executive of the GRI has demanded.

The current batch of CSR reports are “broken” - a static, unreadable mess in a dynamic,

fast-moving and time-poor world.

These are big problems, and they need to be fixed.

The CSR Reporting Summit will ensure you are given the advice, insight and best practice to solve them

and create an effective, compelling – and readable – sustainability report.

The agenda is based on months of research with the CSR community. You’ve told us all about the

challenges you face when compiling your CSR report, and we’ve listened. Our agenda is designed to give

you direct insight from world reporting leaders, along with case studies and best practice on the issues.

Readability. According to the 30 CSR professionals we’ve spoken with, it’s one of the biggest challenges

for CSR reporters. So we’re going to help you deal with it. We’ve dedicated a lot of ‘airtime’ to the issue,

with sessions featuring Danone, Lego, the Guardian and Tesco investigating every aspect of this thorny

problem.

Of course, if you want your CR report to be read, you need to know who you’re talking to, and what they

want to know. So we’ve created sessions exclusively focused on how to engage two of your biggest

stakeholder groups: employees and investors.

Obviously readability’s one part of a bigger puzzle. We cover the rest of it too - with unmissable sessions

on materiality, transparency, measurement, KPIs and data gathering. All covered in detail, all giving you

step-by-step solutions from some of the foremost minds working in CR Reporting today.

For a fully rounded perspective, we’ve also got a panel session onwhat CR reports should look like

in the next 5 years. We’ve brought together a corporate company, an investor, an NGO, a voluntary

initiative and an independent commentator. They will give you a full picture of what to expect from

CR reporting trends in the near future and how this will impact the way you produce your report.

Anyway, I’ll leave you to have a look over the rest of the brochure. You’ll get detailed information on the

topics we’re covering, a breakdown of our audience so you can see who you’ll meet, and insight into the

innovative new structure we’re introducing.

Look forward to meeting you in London in November.

Kind Regards,

Nick Johnson

Did you know that 75% of the world’s top 500companies now produce sustainability reports?

How to create accurateenvironmental indicators

With climate change laws looming, and anincreasingly carbon-constrained economy,there’s no doubt that environmental reportingis an absolute must. It’s not only crucial in theshaping of your company’s environmentalstrategy, but it will also help your potentialinvestors assess their own opportunities andrisks. But how do you go about defining yourenvironmental indicators – and measuringwhat really matters?

• What should you measure?

• What metrics should you use?

• What’s the best way to set accurateenvironmental targets that fit your business– and then reflect them in your report?

• Reporting on the full carbon footprint, notjust the bit you control: Who does it? Whodoes it well?

Nestlé, Hilary Parsons, Global Head of Corporate Affairs

DAY ONE 25th November 2009

Successfully manage therisk of transparency

The whole point of sustainability reporting is

transparency. But ironically, that’s where the

complications start. In the case of an oil and gas

company with no renewable energy business

– like BG Group – being transparent about GHG

emissions can damage your exposure. But the

risk of not reporting is equally bad for your

reputation. So where’s the balance?

• Transparency through clarity: Learn how to

overcome the challenge of complex data

• Disclosure: What’s the best way to deal with

controversial information?

• Greenwash: Why it doesn’t work and how to

avoid it

BG Group, Dominic Hall, Sustainability Communications

Manager

National Express, Nick Coad, Group Environment Director

Social Impacts assessment:How to quantify theunquantifiable andreflect it in your report

While environmental reporting can be expressed

in numbers (thanks to carbon measurement),

social reporting is a separate and less tangible

challenge. So how are you supposed to assess

whether you’ve made a positive contribution

to the local people and the local economy?

Is it as simple as saying: ‘We created X jobs

in the community, and contributed Y dollars

in tax’? Join this session to pinpoint the most

effective ways to assess and report on your

social issues.

• Determine the best indicators for your

socio-economic impacts

• Learn how to develop meaningful quantitative

measures of your impacts

• Understand your impacts in emerging markets:

Is value chain analysis the best approach?

How to get yourmessage across– and remain genuine

In companies like Virgin Media and Marks and

Spencer, developing customer trust through the

CR report is critical to the credibility of the brand

as a whole. In this session, you’ll see for yourself

how these two firms promote transparency and

authenticity in their CR report through:

• Dialogue: Why stakeholder engagement is

key to prioritising issues and providing

independent commentary

• Project management: Why a shared

understanding of your company’s current

performance across all departments is essential

– and how to make sure it happens

• Honesty: How to avoid common traps like

jargon and self-congratulation

• Clear storytelling: Improve readability with a

good story told in a simple, conversational way

Investors: What reallymakes them tick?

According to Matt Christiensen, Executive Directorof the European Social Investment Forum, financialreporting captures less than 20% of corporate risks andvalue-creation potential. The other 80% is derived fromintangibles such as human capital and resourceefficiency. And it’s here that the CSR report becomes acrucial tool to help potential investors to better gaugelonger-term risks. So why is it so difficult to engage them?In this thought-provoking session, Insight Investmentand Danske Bank will share their views with you:

• What investors must have from CSR reports

• How – and where – CSR reporting fits in withinvestors’ financial data

• Can web-based reporting reinvigoratesustainability reporting and make yourinformation more enticing?
