Revolutionizing Corporate Reporting: A Stakeholder-Centric Approach

Stakeholder reporting has evolved to encompass a broader audience, driven by historical roots and recent trends in transparency and sustainability. Companies like K&A focus on integrated reporting, ESG, and BRSR, playing a pivotal role in shaping the future of corporate communications in response to global shifts and mandates.

In the domain of stakeholder reporting, change is sparked by intellectual vigor and a commitment to fostering long-term societal improvements. The practice of engaging shareholders dates back to the 17th century, with the Dutch East India Company pioneering public share issuance and corporate reporting, laying the groundwork for today's practices.

Amidst the global financial crisis of 2008, faith in corporate data waned, prompting the establishment of the International Integrated Reporting Council in 2010. This era saw businesses expanding their perspectives to include entire stakeholder communities, thereby facilitating the evolution of integrated reporting on financial and non-financial business facets.

K&A has adeptly navigated this shift, producing integrated reports for over 50 companies, emphasizing Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) reporting. Their adept ESG team crafts transparent and meaningful reports, aligning with global standards to promote an inclusive approach to value creation.
