Integrating the Business Reporting Supply Chain - Summary of Key Recommendations

High-quality business reporting lies at the heart of strong capital markets and sustainable economic growth.

This will enable the various stakeholders who use those reports to make informed decisions with respect to an organization’s social, environmental, and economic performance.
