Why report?

Creates market opportunities and enhances competitiveness

"The report has acted as a useful marketing tool in winning business overseas. For example, partners in overseas joint venture have stated that they were more willing to work with companies that had a proven record in environmental management. The report has undoubtedly helped National Power to demonstrate this."

Steve Adrian, Environmental Planning Manager,
National Power, United Kingdom

Satisfies the community's right to know

"Increasingly, our customers and a wider range of stakeholders are seeking assurance on the environmental, health and safety (EHS) aspects of the service we provide. We recognise this and believe that EHS progress must be both achieved and communicated, just as for the financial aspects of our business."

Mr. Ross E. Sayers, Managing Director,
CLP Holdings, Hong Kong

Improves access to funds, insurance and leases

"In my view, quality of environmental management and reporting tell a lot about a company's management quality in general. An investor who ignores this clearly increases risk and misses out on opportunities."

Carlos Joly, Senior Vice President,
Storebrand, Norway

Raises staff commitment to improve environmental performance

"Public reporting has been a good mechanism for us to inform and raise awareness of the target audiences. Within the company, staff welcomed the document as it brought together the range of actions the company is taking on the environment and this has motivated staff to take further actions."

Dr. Stephen Hill,
Group Environmental Policy Advisor,
National Grid, United Kingdom

Reassures regulators and bridges communication with neighbours and other stakeholders

"Publishing your own report will be an ideal opportunity to put information about your pollution loads into context and to explain how your are managing your impacts"
Pam Allan,
Minister for the Environment,
Australia's NSW
