Internet-based sustainability reporting of German and Italian companies – VIGONI

The Project is carried out by a consortium between the Centre for Sustainability Management of Leuphana Universitaet, the Centre for Environmental Economics and Management (CEEM) of Ca’ Foscari University and the Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei. The aim of the research is three-folded: i) The test on the comprehensiveness of corporate sustainability reporting; ii) the effectiveness of an internet-based approach; iii) The emerging trends and mainstreaming CSR approach in the financial sector as they are presented and declared in sustainability reporting. The joint collaboration between the different institutions will produce a comprehensive (technical and content) criteria catalogue for the assessment of internet and printed-based sustainability reporting. Bringing together these perspectives, the enlarged team will be able to assess and compare main sustainability reporting outputs of German and Italian companies accompanied by sector-based recommendations.
