Social reporting
2006 progress and review
You will see that we are reporting more briefly this year than previously. This is not a full Social Report. Instead, we are taking a little time out to review our reporting, with the aim of moving to a Sustainability Report next year.
But this does not mean we have eased up in working to manage our business responsibly.
This performance summary, although shorter, covers our progress in 2006 on all the commitments in our 2005 Social Report and, as before, includes the Global Reporting Initiative indicators. We have began using the G3 sustainability reporting indicators and our next step is a materiality test to determine which of these we should report against in future.
