Get down to the gym more often: KPMG’s message to report readers

Nov 9, 2011 | Blogs

Thoughtful coverage of corporate responsibility reporting is rare. KPMG are to be congratulated for the thoughtful analysis included in the KPMG International Survey of Corporate Responsibility Reporting 2011

The top prize goes toSpain. KPMG says Spain is top for quality of communication and outstripped only by the tiny Indian reporting effort on process maturity.

That leaves us with just one problem.

If I am sent a Spanish report I expect it to be 300 pages long and to weigh half a ton. You need to be as fit as Sir Steve Redgrave just to pick it up.

The comprehensiveness of the Spanish reporting tradition is admirable. Pity our Iberian friends haven’t been given the grace of brevity.
