The KPMG Survey of Corporate Responsibility Reporting 2013

Covering 4,100 companies in 41 countries, the KPMG Survey of Corporate Responsibility Reporting 2013 assesses the quality of corporate responsibility (CR) reporting among the world’s top 250 companies.

The survey provides a useful reflection on the current state of CR reporting for a wide variety of audiences, including investors, asset managers and ratings agencies – many of which are increasingly factoring environmental, social and governance information into their assessments of corporate performance.

Corporate stakeholders, including NGOs, customers, academics, students and policy makers should also find useful information and food for thought in these pages.

The 2013 report marks 20 years since KPMG’s first survey on CR reporting, which covered just ten countries.

Together with the report PDF (right) there is the CCR online tool that allows you to compare:

• The rate of CR reporting by country, region and sector;
• The rate of assurance of CR reports by country and region;
• The average quality score of the CR reports of the world’s largest
   250 companies by sector.
