  8. TOOLS - CR Index contributing to change • Greater emphasis of CR as a source of competitive advantage - Leaders moving from Risk to Opportunity. • Board-level ownership more prevalent & visible. • Further progress in systems & programmes to incentivise, train & communicate with employees. • More companies involving stakeholders in identifying risks, opportunities and performance indicators.

  9. TOOLS - CR Index contributing to change • More evidence of social & environmental issues influencing decision making – on new investments; development of new products & services (But often isolated examples) • Trend of public disclosure continuing

  10. Tools - Areas for improvement • Limited forward-looking commitments – outlooks rarely extend beyond the year ahead. • Supply-chain management a key area for improvement • Demonstrating continuous improvement in social and environmental impact proving an enduring challenge. • Only 2 in 5 companies have company wide assurance processes • Climate Change - companies still focusing their efforts on incremental yearly improvements.
