First Social Report of Raben Group

In the global study of CFOs by Deloitte entitled „Sustainable Finance: The Risks and Opportunities that (Some) CFOs Are Overlooking”, six out of ten financial directors believe that the challenges of sustainable development will change financial reporting. Non-financial verification is becoming more and more important as it serves building credibility of companies.[2]

Polish companies should use this new reporting duty as a business opportunity. Reporting non-financial data under G4 GRI Guidelines brings many benefits not only for the reporting organization but also for the addressees of the report who are able to find the answer to some of their problematic questions. From the point of view of the reporting organizations, internal management systems are reinforced, the quality of the monitoring process of sustainable development improves, the awareness of people involved in the reporting process of social, economic and environmental aspect is higher. Reporting of non-financial data and submitting them to independent verification increases transparency of the company. Therefore it increases the trust in the company among external and internal stakeholders. - comments Jacek Kuchenbeker, Senior Manager in Risk Management Department of Deloitte.
