In the white paper “Corporate social responsibility in a global economy” (report no. 10, 2008-2009) the Government states high ambitions for social responsibility performance in both public and private sector. The Government expects companies in which the state has an ownership interest to play a leading role in exercising social responsibility, and urges large companies with international operations to use the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) reporting standard.
Furthermore, the Statkraft Group’s business principles establish that the company shall comply with laws and regulations and communicate in an open, accurate and timely manner with all its stakeholders. In addition the Group policies emphasise that the environmental impact and social consequences of the company’s operations shall be communicated. Sustainability reporting therefore represents an important and integral part of Statkraft’s external communication.
