Background:

The majority of large public companies issue not only an annual/10-K report, but also a second report, focusing on sustainability. Formal sustainability reporting represents an important global trend with a consistently increasing number of companies reporting on their comprehensive effect on the environment, people, as well as reporting on profit. In some cases, companies are integrating sustainability-related information in their annual reports; this is referred to as "Integrated Reporting" or the "Triple Bottom Line."

Assignments/Tasks: 

Research the company you chose for discussion question No. 2. and determine whether the company reports on sustainability-related efforts. Sustainability reports are typically available on the company website. Please note that companies utilize a variety of terms, such as Sustainability Development Report, Environmental responsibility report, Corporate social reporting, Stewardship Report, and Environmental Social Governance (ESG) Report.  If the company you chose does not report on sustainability, please chose another public company that issues a report.
