BREAKOUT SESSION ONE

No-one reads our CSR reports, what are we going to do now?

How to create accurate environmental indicators

Successfully manage the risk of transparency

Did you know that 75% of the world’s top 500 companies now produce sustainability reports? So far so good: CSR reporting has become mainstream. But the bad news is that in an era of information overload, not enough people are actually reading these reports – making it hard to justify all the time, money and resources that are being spent on your corporate story. In this session, you’ll gain valuable advice from leading companies that are tackling the growing issue of readability – and getting proven results from all their stakeholders.

With climate change laws looming, and an increasingly carbon-constrained economy, there’s no doubt that environmental reporting is an absolute must. It’s not only crucial in the shaping of your company’s environmental strategy, but it will also help your potential investors assess their own opportunities and risks. But how do you go about defining your environmental indicators – and measuring what really matters?

The whole point of sustainability reporting is

• Effectively target your key stakeholders: Learn from LEGO Group’s radical new direction in reporting – and its impact on readership

• What should you measure?

• Danone’s golden rules: How to ensure your reports communicate, educate and entertain

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

• Keep it real: The Guardian’s editorial perspective on bringing your CSR reports to life and engaging your readership

• What metrics should you use?

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

• Reporting on the full carbon footprint, not just the bit you control: Who does it? Who does it well?

PLENARY TWO

Embed sustainability reporting in your company: What kind of payback can you expect? World class organisations like Ikea and Timberland have proved that embedding ethical values into the DNA of your company is crucial to survival and success. And integrating transparency and accountability into your company is a big part of this task. So how do you embed CSR reporting effectively in your company? In this eye-opening session, you’ll discover how SKF and GlaxoSmithKline do it, and what the benefits are.

Social Impacts assessment: How to quantify the unquantifiable and reflect 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?

• How to define the internal value of CR reporting – and to communicate it to every employee from CEO to newest recruit

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.

• Full involvement: How a well coordinated reporting process will dramatically strengthen your company’s commitment to ethical values

• Determine the best indicators for your socio-economic impacts

• How to use your report to drive change throughout your company

• Learn how to develop meaningful quantitative measures of your impacts

Manager

How to get your message 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

• Do what you say and say what you do: How to maintain the company’s trust in your report once the process is in place

• Understand your impacts in emerging markets: Is value chain analysis the best approach?

DAY TWO 26th November 2009 BREAKOUT SESSION THREE

Investors: What really makes them tick? According to Matt Christiensen, Executive Director of the European Social Investment Forum, financial reporting captures less than 20% of corporate risks and value-creation potential. The other 80% is derived from intangibles such as human capital and resource efficiency. And it’s here that the CSR report becomes a crucial tool to help potential investors to better gauge longer-term risks. So why is it so difficult to engage them? In this thought-provoking session, Insight Investment and Danske Bank will share their views with you:

PLENARY ONE

External verification: Is this the best way to make your report credible? A recent KPMG survey on CR reporting trends shows that formal third-party assurance for Global Fortune 250 companies jumped from 30% to 40% in three years. But while assurance makes the report more trustworthy and transparent, couldn’t stakeholder panels do the same job equally well? This session enables you to evaluate the best way to convince your readers of the authenticity of your report.

• What investors must have from CSR reports

• How can the external verification process help to balance your report’s content?

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

• What is the value of an independent check from the GRI?

• Can web-based reporting reinvigorate sustainability reporting and make your information more enticing?

• How to channel the assurer’s feedback towards the elaboration of a more formal process of data collection and reporting

• The impact of Denmark’s new CSR reporting law on investors’ demands on report contents and quality

• Find out how the stakeholder panel approach can work best for you at the development stage of the report

Insight Investment, Rory Sullivan, Head of Investor Responsibility Danske Bank, Anne Søgaard Melchiorsen, Group CR Manager

Umicore, Dr. Bert Swennen, MD, Director Environment, Health and Safety Management

BREAKOUT SESSION FOUR

Innovation and Creativity: Make the most of web 2.0 technology to deliver a strong, relevant CR report With the sheer amount of web tools available these days, it’s not easy to know which one is best suited to help you communicate your CSR message. Join this session to learn how to tap into the potential of these

Close-up on the Carbon Reduction Commitment: What does this UK law mean for your company?

• Understand what the CRC expects from your company • How are businesses successfully coping with preparing for the new law?

• Harness interactive technology to effectively communicate with various stakeholder groups • Empower stakeholders via web 2.0 tools to increase employee motivation and customer loyalty ammado, Peter Conlon, CEO

BREAKOUT SESSION ONE

Employees: How to maximise the value of your report for your internal audience As it becomes more successfully embedded in companies, CR reporting is turning into a massive enterprise that can involve dozens – even hundreds – of people. So making sure that your workforce understands the value of your report – and consequently, your CSR strategy – is absolutely essential to its creation. • Build awareness: Use the report to educate everyone and spread a ‘culture of responsibility’ across your business

• Engage: Bringing to life the concept of ‘participatory innovation’ and making your workforce part of the process Speakers to be confirmed

As of early 2010, the UK’s non carbon-intensive sectors will have to measure, manage and reduce their carbon emissions, by law. Not only that, but your measurement and reporting responsibility starts now! Which means that if you fall under this category, the countdown is well and truly on to prepare your business. Join this session to find out exactly how to implement the new law in your company – and report accordingly.

BREAKOUT SESSION TWO

Use data management systems to develop your CSR reports Efficiently gathering meaningful data is one of the biggest challenges organisations face in CSR reporting. Growing demands for this data to be verified externally only increases the pressure! This session explains how data management systems can help you put in place a framework for collecting data from all areas of your business, including across multiple countries and with different reporting purposes. The agenda will cover: • Challenges other companies have experienced in gathering CSR data and how they handled them • Effective ways of analysing your CSR data, once you’ve gathered it • Pursuing continuous improvement in your CSR KPIs using dashboards and overviews • Moving towards more regular online communication of CSR performance Alliance-Boots, Richard Ellis, Group Head of CSR Credit 360, Mark Shields, Managing Director

Stakeholder Dialogue: Is this the most effective way to report transparently? Close to 40% of the world's 1,600 largest corporations discuss structured stakeholder dialogue in their CSR reports, says CSR Europe. Why? Because doing so reinforces the report’s transparency and relevance to the mix of stakeholder groups – which in turn boosts overall credibility. In this session, you’ll learn how to make the most of this dialogue as a spingboard to deliver an even stronger CR report. • How to create a context of trust, as a foundation for the dialogue • Determining strategic issues together – and understanding how best to reflect these in your report

Materiality: Striking a balance between what you want to say – and what they want to know In the current economic climate, it’s absolutely crucial to get your materiality analysis right. In fact, it’s even more important than the format of your report, since the choice of issues discussed will determine who reads it. So how do you encompass the demands from your market, your external stakeholders, your company and from society, all in a single report, whilst still keeping it relevant to everyone concerned? • Make it appropriate to your core business: Deliver a balanced picture of risk and opportunity management • Create a comparable report with some scope for differentiation • How to make your report as comprehensive as possible, without sacrificing the readability factor Henkel, Christine Schneider, CSR and Sustainability Management

Make all the hard work worthwhile: How to communicate your message to everyone – and be heard How do you make sure that your report is accurate, transparent, relevant AND readable? Join this session and find out how to tick all the boxes to deliver a powerful, unputdownable CR report. • Clearly identifying your stakeholders, and understanding what they expect from your report • Match – and exceed – their expectations by selecting the ideal format, the correct tone and ensuring you genuinely connect with your audience groups • Cultivate transparency and openness: Make sure your report doesn’t just tell pretty stories Tesco, Josh Hardie, Head of Corporate Responsibility

Reporting Clinic One report, or many? How to strike a useful balance between global strategy and local issues It’s difficult enough having to deliver a compact, readable, relevant report about your overall CSR performance – and even more so if your business has a global presence. How do you reflect both local and global issues without writing a hefty document that looks like hard work to read? Find out in this session. • Effective data gathering: What’s the best method when dealing with several – or many countries? • Telling the whole story: How do the various local drivers fit your global agenda? • Local materiality selection: How should you redefine your KPIs to reflect the local issues highlighted in your report? Vodafone, Joaquim Croca, Head of Corporate Responsibility Performance & Reporting

Struggling with your CR report? Join us at the two Reporting Clinic sessions for in-depth discussions on all your challenges! You’ve heard the presentations, now bring your practical questions about any aspect of reporting to the Report Clinic. The sessions will be run by Simon Propper, Managing Director of Context and Toby Webb, Managing Director of Ethical Corporation.
