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.

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.

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
