Investors are looking more and more often how you
manage your company: Respect index
11 © 2015 Deloitte Central Europe
The RESPECT Index project, similarly to the first edition
held in 2009, aims at identification of companies managed in
a responsible and sustainable manner, but additionally it puts
strong emphasis on investment attractiveness of companies
that are characterized, among others, by reporting quality,
level of investor relations or information governance. Thanks
to the incorporation of the liquidity aspect into the eligibility
criteria the RESPECT Index, similarly to other exchange
indices, represents a real reference for professional
investors.

About non-financial reporting: crash course

Non-financial reporting
• A non-financial report is a report published by a company or organization about the
economic, environmental and social impacts caused by its everyday activities.
• A non-financial report also presents the organization's values and governance
model, and demonstrates the link between its strategy and its commitment to a
sustainable global economy.

Integrated reporting
The new Directive encourages development of practices.
What is integrated reporting?
Integrated reporting reflects market
expectations resulting from declining
trust in companies because of
the financial crisis – establishment IIRC
“Integrated reporting gives an
opportunity to clearly communicate your
strategic message. What is your
business model? How do we create
value? What is our relationship with
a broad view of stakeholders and the
external environment? What is our
sustainable development strategy in the
long term?
... and we think this is a question that a
number of users are challenging
corporates to be able to answer.” Russell Picot Chief Accounting Officer, HSBC
