Case Study• Scenario:

– The CFO of your company approaches you with the Director of HR: two of the companies for which you supply product are going to audit the company now and going forward for sustainability / social compliance.

– These audits could mean continued business relationships, or discontinuing the business relationships.

– What they want is for the company to participate in sustainability / social compliance reporting, that will be audited annually, and you are the person Senior Management has decided should lead this process. Each company is worth $500 M annually to your organization.© JB, FF, MH CSR 2012

Case Study• How would you determine which reporting

mechanism to use?• Who would be part of your team (or can you

do this alone)?• What kind of data would you need to include

in the report?
