-
Individual research areas: Environment
10
65.6% of all assessed met environmental requirements in 2013
(79.6% in 2012)
Full disclosure requirement a challenge, particularly for high impact and first timers
Medium impact companies do best in policy, need to improve management
and reporting
Low impact category still strong in reporting
Lower threshold
High impact companies did best in environmental reporting this year, but
need to address disclosure of management systems
-
Individual research areas: Society
11
65% of all assessed met social requirements in 2013 (81.5% in 2012)
Decline due to larger universe and public requirement
Strong themes
Stakeholder engagement, Community relations
Demonstrates awareness of external / societal expectations and willingness to engage
Disclosures around health & safety, BEE and equal opportunities also sufficient
Challenging themes
Decline in performance across training & development, employee relations, HIV/Aids
Attributable to public requirement areas generally addressed, but not sufficiently
available in public domain
Still room for increased transparency
-
Individual research areas:
Governance & related sustainability concerns
12
90.4% of all assessed met governance requirements in 2013 (98% in 2012)
Strongest performance area
Attributed to influence of King III and integrated reporting focus
Improvement in Board practice
Decline in other areas
o Again due to public requirement areas being addressed but not sufficiently disclosed
Strong areas
Business value & risk management remains strong
Broader economic issues
Governance reporting remains challenging area
Especially for companies being assessed for the first time
-
Individual research areas: Climate Change
13
56.7% of all assessed met climate change entry level requirements in 2013
(75.9% in 2012)
Decrease attributable to large number of new Small Cap companies
Companies assessed last year show improvement
Strongest performance by Top 40 companies 92.5% meeting entry level
