Sustainability Report Ranking 2007

The Sustainability Report Ranking evaluates the content and communicative quality of the sustainability and environmental reports of Germany’s 150 largest corporations. It is a joint evaluation project of the Institute for Ecological Economy Research (IÖW) and of the business network ‘future’. This project started in 1994 as a ranking of the environmental reports of Germany’s biggest businesses. This year’s Ranking is the 6th time that it has taken place. The last time was 2005, the year in which the focus was switched from environmental to sustainability reporting. Since then, the evaluation criteria have contained a wide range of requirements on social, ecological, economic, and communicative aspects of these nonfinancial reports.
