Annual and Sustainability Reporting during a fundamental transformation of your business model is a challenge. Annual and Sustainability Reports, important and trusted communication tools for stakeholders, should deliver robust information that can be compared to previous business cycles. What if there are no historic comparables? How to account for the impacts of the transformation? Why should shareholders and other stakeholder trust you and be confident that you are able to successfully execute on the new strategy? What kind of reporting strategy will help you navigate the disruption?
Esther Bares from Philip Morris International and Iris Müller from BKW explained how they strive to best report on business transformation, build trust in their new business models and uphold consistency even in times of highly agile shifts within their companies. They provided insights into reporting challenges within the company and with their most influential stakeholders.
