Dear Stakeholder This is the fifth year of the CR Reporting Awards (CRRA), introduced in August 2007 as the first annual global CR reporting awards programme. This is a summary of our full 2012 Global Winners report I invite you to sign up on CorporateRegister.com and to sign in to download the full version, which includes an overview of the state of current CR reporting, background to the CRRA and our methodology, a deeper look into current reporting issues, and more besides. Our Decision, Decisions motif for this years awards was a light-hearted nod towards our voters, who we ask to select the winners from the many reports entered in our nine awards categories. Thank you to all those who did vote and identified this years best reports. But Decisions, decisions could equally be directed towards the reporters, who need to make a series of decisions before presenting us with their finished reports. Apart from the obvious to report or not quandary, reporters must then select from a range of options integrated or stand-alone reporting, assurance or none, to follow global guidelines or not, to report in html format only or to include print and pdf versions as well. Take a look at the full report for more on these issues. Decisions, decisions weve been making our own at CorporateRegister.com Our mission has always been to provide a comprehensive global directory of non-financial reporting, free of charge and completely independent (no advertising, sponsorship or grants). By comparing and contrasting reports, looking back through the archive and seeing trends over time, our users have a unique tool. We have just launched a membership service to ensure the sustainability of the directory, now that we are searching for, entering and profiling over 6,000 reports a year, and approaching 40,000 profiled reports. We hope that major reporting companies will become members, thereby ensuring that we can continue to develop and expand our free directory. As always, I would be grateful for your views and feedback.

Sustainability Report 2010 View online Selected voters comments on the report: They know their stuff. They know what they have achieved. Material aspects are included. It is an honest report. They tell what they haven't achieved (although the organization is small and hardly anybody would hold them accountable for any failures). The content makes the readers believe in the organization. NGO & Charity, Germany It is clear that a lot of effort went into producing this report alongside a heavy workload. The content and style is original and engaging. CSR Consultant, UK Corporate reports are mostly self-serving. But here comes a company that's started small but thinks big by sharing its ideas which could have been kept for private profit.
