Social Reporting

A social report or a social responsibility report provides an overview of the status of a business organization in relation to areas and issues in the realms of corporate responsibility (environmental-social-economic), based on a predefined set of metrics. This is designated to facilitate the review of the performance of the organization in relation to a given period, prior years, and to compare its responsible conduct against that of comparable companies.
