Sustainability Reporting
There are two awards in this category:
- Award for organisations with fewer than 50 staff
- Award for organisations with 50 or more staff
Sustainable Development has been defined as being “development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs” Bruntland Report. Sustainability covers three areas of activity – the environment, economy (financial) and social responsibility (which could include both staff issues and those pertaining to the community at various levels).
Organisations applying for this category will have developed a sustainability reporting system with improvement targets. It is expected that quantified benefits will have resulted from a sustainability programme.
