Social Reporting JumpStart

 Are you really ready to produce a social report?

  • Will it improve your brand?
  • Will it meet stakeholder expectations?
  • Will it communicate the right information?

Your challenge

Just because many companies produce social reports doesn’t mean they all do it well. Creating an effective and useful social report requires cross-functional collaboration as well as clarity on the report’s purpose and the scope of the information to be shared. The path to effective corporate citizenship communication is littered with the social reporting wreckage of companies that set out to produce a report for the sake of doing it, without understanding why they were reporting, what they hoped to accomplish, what pitfalls they could encounter and many other issues.

Our solution

To help companies get off on the right foot with reporting and get everyone involved in lock step, we've created this two-day on-site program. Conducted at your location, this program provides guidance on how to organize the social reporting process and increase the value derived from it.

Program Objectives

  • Increase cross-functional understanding of social reporting trends, best practices and pitfalls
  • Increase understanding of the potential risks and gains of social reporting
  • Develop an action plan to guide development of your company’s social report

Twenty years ago, corporate social responsibility reports were the exception. Today they are rapidly moving toward becoming the rule. Their growth is a result of stakeholders’ increasing interest in the corporate citizenship performance of companies and a growing recognition among companies that communication about corporate citizenship is not only unavoidable, but if done right can be leveraged to improve relationships with stakeholders and thereby advance business interests.
