>>About the Talk and the Speaker

WHO READS SUSTAINABIITY REPORTS?

Sustainability reporting provides increased knowledge on the sustainability related efforts taken by a company, but it has not yet changed the behaviour of investors, R&D and product designers and the regulators. The content of sustainability reports is also being questioned in terms of its usefulness. Dr. Modak will highlight these and some of the other concerns in sustainability reporting, examine the emerging trends in reporting and share case studies where sustainability reporting seems to work.
