Reporting Services

Net Balance is a leading provider of sustainability reporting services, with proven expertise in developing corporate responsibility and sustainability reports.

We provide tailored solutions to organisations – enabling you to choose how much involvement you need. For example, you may need an ‘extra pair of hands’ to help you write the report or you may need strategic advice on how to develop an integrated report.

How we can help

We can help you during any, or all, of these stages.

1. Planning

We can work with you to identify what your key issues and messages are.  We can help you apply international reporting frameworks such as the Global Reporting Initiative’s G3 Guidelines and the AA1000 AS (2008) standards and we can work with you to gather the required information from the relevant departments.

To identify your key issues you may wish to obtain the feedback of internal and external stakeholders. We can facilitate these sessions to make the most out of the engagement.

2. Doing

Reporting can be, and often is, time-intensive. We can ease the burden by project managing the report from start to finish – making sure deadlines are met and that the report is delivered to time and budget.

We can write the report in consultation with relevant data owners, using clear, jargon-free language. If you need help with the design, we have an in-house graphic designer who can help you achieve the right look and feel of the report, or we can work with your chosen designers.

If you have chosen to have your report externally assured, we can work with the providers to obtain requested information and to help ensure the process goes smoothly.

3. Reviewing

We can edit and proofread your report, checking for consistency and that it meets relevant reporting standards. We can also benchmark your report against your peers, industry and best practice to help you develop a report that is best practice.
