Sectoral CSR Reporting

Did you know?

• The GRI reports that over 75% of people who read a company's sustainability report perceive the company more positively after reading it
• Nearly 80% of the largest 250 companies worldwide (G250) issued reports, and an additional four percent integrated corporate responsibility information into their annual reports
• There are about 100 different CSR standards that can be distinguished based on their geographical, sectoral, and workforce coverage 

CSR Reporting in the Financial Sector

The tracking, comparison, and potential learning from CSR reports is largely hindered by a lack of standardised reporting, including at the sector level.

The Conferación Española de Cajas de Ahorros (CECA), in partnership with 23 of its members and with leadership from Caja Granada and Caja Madrid, have addressed this issue by gathering data on the Spanish saving bank sector's current reporting practices and exploring possibilities to streamline reporting across CECA's network in line with the Sectoral Aggregate Reporting guidelines of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI).

The report provides recommendations on how to meeting G3 guidelines and to not overlap with other reported data. In addition standardised reporting mechanisms are provided to help increase transparency and stakeholder comprehension.
