Biography
Dr. Jane Thostrup Jagd is Director and Control Compliance Officer at A.P. Moller-Maersk, Denmark
This book provides a practical toolkit to students, analysts and investors on CSR reporting in the current integrated reporting environment where the linkage between financial and non-financials is absolutely critical.
Sumit Lodhia, Professor, University of South Australia, Australia
Responsible investment increasingly relies on CSR reporting to generate sustainable value. While the demand for CSR information is widespread, a challenge for financial analysts remains to distil the right information before making an appropriate investment decision. Based on a large set of examples of CSR reporting, this book provides practical insights on how to successfully integrate CSR into mainstream financial decisions.
Paolo Perego, Associate Professor in Management Accounting, Erasmus University Rotterdam, Netherlands
Dr. Jagd is to be congratulated for conducting this investigation into CSR reporting among the largest corporations in the world. For both investors and policy makers this exercise lifts the lid on the significant uncertainties surrounding the newly emerging and rapidly growing sphere of corporate social responsibility. As we move towards the 10 billion people planet and then the inexorable reduction that will follow, providing reporters and their stakeholders with a simple tool kit for effective CSR reporting will become an invaluable asset.
Dr. Steve Priddy, Director of Research, London School of Business and Finance, UK
