Report writing and accountability benchmarking
Through our predecessor company Sd3, for five consecutive years we helped General Motors (GM) develop its annual corporate responsibility report. For GM’s reports covering every year from 2000-01 to 2004-05, we provided strategic advice and hands-on support including data collection and report writing.
Separately, GM commissioned our other predecessor company csrnetwork to benchmark its corporate responsibility performance. We compared GM’s accountability with that of the world’s largest companies and its peers in the automotive sector, drawing on data from our annual Accountability Rating survey. The resulting report provided GM with a comprehensive picture of how it measured up in each of the six domains of the Rating. It also recommended ways GM could improve its accountability, including by improving its stakeholder engagement.
