CSR Reporting Training

This two-day training focuses on the "step-by-step" approach in CSR Reporting in local Malaysian setting that will provide balanced, comparable and accurate report relevant to Malaysian environment.

Customers, investors, and a wide range of stakeholders increasingly demand that companies disclose information on their environmental and social performance. Reporting is one of the tools employed by enterprises to inform the public of the impact that their operations and products have on their own employees, the environment and society at large.

A CSR report is also a diagnostic instrument to manage risks and set and monitor a company’s strategic goals. Hence, the report itself can be the starting point of an engagement process that sees companies working internally and externally towards social responsibility In order to assist companies in meeting increased calls for transparency and accountability, a number of CSR reporting guidelines and standards have been developed.

The Global Reporting Initiative’s Sustainability Reporting Guidelines, and the Institute of Social and Ethical Account Ability’s AA1000 Assurance Standard are two such guides. The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) is a multi-stakeholder initiative formed to develop globally applicable guidelines that can be used voluntarily by companies to report on their key economic, environmental, and social impacts.

The Guidelines cover disclosure ranging from a company’s strategy and management approach to its economic performance and market presence, materials, energy and water used, as well as emissions and waste produced. It incorporates labour practices and basic rights, involvement with local community, as well as product responsibility to provide a complete picture of company behaviour.
