Production Guide for Corporate Social Responsibility Annual Report and Statement (2001)

The Guide and the Report are the result of an intense effort of the Ethos Institute in developing tools for corporate social responsibility practices. The guide is aimed directly at organizations in the process of integrating the Corporate Social Responsibility Annual Report into their actual business. It does not intend to eliminate the need for external help in the preparation of the report, but rather to provide support for the establishment of a strategy for action and an outline of the basic steps to be taken.

The report intends to provide companies with a proposal for dialogue with the different types of public involved in their business: the internal public (workplace), suppliers, consumers/customers, community, the environment, government and society. Therefore, it suggests the presentation of some basic indicators of social, environmental and economic performance. Moreover, the report may be considered, along with the Ethos Indicators of Corporate Social Responsibility, as a tool for self-diagnosis and management for the companies, since it presents relevant information on the organization under the perspective of its social role, permits the planning of the development and improvement of their indicators, and provides a comparison and dialogue among companies in the same sector.
