About Our Company
This report will serve to provide the public with a transparent view into our stance and proactive
actions in relation to corporate social responsibility for 2015, and is prepared according to the
Sustainability Reporting Guidelines issued by the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). A GRI
Content Index is provided in the beginning of the report. Furthermore, we will strive to clarify
our corporate position on labor practices, product responsibility, society, the environment, human
rights, and economic indicators.
Raveling Chiropractic and Massage has used logged data from records and privately compiled
statistics about the actual operations of the business. This information will be internally audited
to validate and ensure correctness. We will also use this information as a starting point for future
sustainability efforts.
Since our inception in 1996 we have been dedicated to our goal of combining our interests and
responsibilities in order to create a symbiotic organization that can satisfy the needs of all of its
stakeholders. In the past year we have been able to reduce our impact of the environment through
our supply chain by finding alternative sources of supplies that require less transportation, and
therefore, use less energy. We intend to expand this idea to other aspects and reduce our carbon
footprint. Within the next 6 months all of our files will be converted to an electronic management
software which will diminish the need for paper files, and ensure that our patients time is treated
with the respect it deserves.
Additionally, by 2020 we intend to have a fully funded non-profit center established that
provides holistic body care for those who cannot afford care. We believe that everyone deserves
the opportunity to care for their bodies in the manner that they see fit, and want to ensure that
cost or lack of medical insurance coverage, does not force invasive care on a patient. This
program will benefit members of the community and be funded by fundraisers, the managing
practice partners, and other external inputs.
3
Looking ahead, we are open to pragmatic and innovative techniques and ideas that are available
to our industry in order to develop into a company even more focused on a low-carbon economy
and green energy-driven society. Raveling Chiropractic and Massage looks forward to serving
our community and patients with the same dedication to our sustainability and social
responsibility that we have had from the beginning.

Box 5Performance Indicators
Indicator 1:
Number: LA 7
Description: Rates of injury, occupational disease, lost days, and absenteeism, and number of
work-related fatalities by region
List of metrics: (1) Rate of on the job injury from employee accident reports (2) How much time
was missed from work for what reasons (3) Evaluation of incident rates for safety management
Sample metric:
This chart depicts that 58% of absentee days have been planned and 26% of days missed was due
to illness or injury. We will use this information to evaluate where we can make changes to assist
our employees with maintaining a healthy and injury-free work environment, as our employees
are the most important part of our company. Additionally, we will be looking to increase the
percentage of Charitable Paid Time Off from the current 3% to 6% by the end of 2017. We like
to encourage our employees to help people in our community, and encourage them to use up to
16 hours annually to pursue these passions.
Indicator 2:
Number: PR 1
Description: Life cycle stages in which health and safety impacts of products and services
are assessed for improvement, and percentage of significant products and services categories
subject to such procedures.
List of metrics: (1) Customer level of improvements from different offered treatments and
combinations of treatments from information from surveys (2) Satisfaction with products tied to
the suppliers (3) Which products are used for which services
11
Sample metric:

2.5
With one of our main focuses being on how we can help our patients feel better and be healthier,
the quality of the outcomes of the services we provide are of utmost importance. Therefore,
quarterly surveys are taken of patient reactions to services, or combinations of services, so that
we can evaluate what is working and what could be improved. This constant reevaluation of our
practices allows us to serve our clients, and the community, in a more direct and effective
manner. For example, from this chart we can see that improvement levels were not heightened by
adding electric stimulation treatments to massage therapy, and time, money, and energy can be
saved by not conducting this step.
Indicator 3:
Number: SO 1
Description: Nature, scope, and effectiveness of any programs and practices that assess and
manage the impacts of operations on communities, including entering, operating, and exiting.
List of metrics: (1) Measure how much money we saved the community by providing pro bono
work and treatments (2) Assess the impact of employee charitable work on society by logging
hours on certain activities (3) Graph which activities and services benefit the community most
12
Sample metric:
While it is our goal to cultivate The Raveling Holistic Health for All Program into a large part of
how we give back to our communities, we also seek to grow participation in Community Days,
when we offer free and discounted services in office for veterans and seniors, and employee
charitable paid time off platforms. This chart portrays our dedication to these factors, and we
hope to consistently increase these numbers by 10% across the board by 2020.
Indicator 4:
Number: EN 8
Description: Total water withdrawal by source
List of metrics: (1) Assess total water usage by month or year for the office (2) Graph water
usage by area of office, average for 12 months (3) Measure excess water usage for the location
13
Sample metric:
3678
3142
2371
1946
1143
1094
These numbers are based on the average water consumption per month for a 12 month period.
This chart shows that our office clearly consumes the majority of our water by the use of the
bathrooms. Bathrooms are available to employees and all patients, and each flush uses 5 gallons
of water. That definitely adds up! I would propose that we try to minimize our water usage by
investing in high-efficiency, water-conserving toilets. There are only two, and the initial cost of
under $400 would be offset by the savings on water and our environmental impact.
Indicator 5:
Number: HR 2
Description: Percentage of significant suppliers and contractors that have undergone screening
on human rights and actions taken
List of metrics: (1) Plot incidents on a scatter chart to find increase or decrease in events (2) Pie
chart to show percentage of screening completions of suppliers (3) Measurement chart stating
percentage on goal percentages of human rights screenings of contractors
Sample metric:
2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016
Goal
Percentage of significant suppliers and 100 100 100 100 100 100%
contractors that have undergone screening on % % % % %

Indicator 6:
14
Number: EC 1
Description: Direct economic value generated and distributed, including revenues, operating
costs, employee compensation, donations and other community investments, retained earnings,
and payments to capital providers and governments.
List of metrics: (1) Pie chart depicting percentage distribution of net value added in a particular
year (2) Plot chart comparing revenue of Raveling and competitors by month (3) Measure the
cost difference in future years based on increased prices due to climate changes
Sample metric:
3%

From these pie chart metrics created for 2015 and 2014, we can see how our level of company
contributions to organizational net value has increased in the last year, and we plan for this trend
to continue into the future. We believe that a company is only as strong as the influences of its
management and shareholders.
