CSR report

Every year, Vattenfall publishes a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) report that follows the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) guidelines.

The CSR report provides information that enables you to examine how well we have met society’s expectations, so you can assess our performance from an environmental, social and economic perspective.

The 2008 CSR Report is available to order in print format or to download from this site.

The 2008 CSR Report comprises of three sections:

• Section One: What we want
  Our commitment to sustainable development, our responsibility and our CSR vision. 
   
• Section Two : What we do
  Describes our activities and efforts to support a sustainable development of society. Also focuses on a number of areas in which our stakeholders often have questions and views.  
   
• Section Three: What we have achieved
  Our environmental, social and economic performance reported through the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) quideline.

What is GRI?

The GRI is a multi-stakeholder process and independent institution whose mission is to develop and disseminate globally applicable Sustainability Reporting Guidelines. Started in 1997, GRI became independent in 2002, and is an official collaborative centre of the United Nations Environment Programme, working in cooperation with UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan’s Global Compact.

Sustainability reporting guidelines

These guidelines are for voluntary use by organisations for reporting on the environmental, social and economic dimensions of their activities, products and services. The GRI incorporates active participation of business, accountancy, investment, environmental, human rights, research and labour organisations from around the world. The G3 Sustainability Reporting Guidelines are the world’s most widely accepted standard for sustainability reporting, with more than 1000 companies using the guidelines worldwide.
