The participants of the Conference also agreed that when defining the global basis for reporting, the possibilities of growing economies and local specificities that make it difficult to define a unique approach must be taken into account. The process certainly requires broad consultation at a global level, but one must not lose sight of the basic idea – that the goal is not reporting per se, but helping companies improve their operations. So it's not about who has the best report, but who makes the most progress. Such companies will be the most attractive to investors, business partners and clients.
