Second Consultation on Sustainability Reporting Held - Final Report Pending

On December 7, 2009 a consultation meeting was held in Toronto on the topic of Sustainability Reporting (in particular corporate "Social" performance reporting) for the Government of Ontario.
The consultation is being organized by the Hennick Centre of Business and Law at Osgoode Hall Law School, in association with Jantzi Sustainalytics, the Association of Chartered and Certified Accountants (ACCA), and further to an earlier consultation of the Ontario Securities Commission.

The background paper for the consultation, which I co-authored, can be at the following link...

I can say that the results of the consultation were very interesting. Our findings could have a significant impact on the direction of Sustainability Reporting in Canada. Our final report is currently being prepared and should be released later this month or early February 2010.
