The Integrated Thinking Award acknowledges the work of DESPAR Northeast Italy in successfully producing and integrated report, which combines their sustainability report with their annual report, which the company started back in 2012.
“Integrated Reporting is an extraordinary reporting and communication tool which has also become a process of corporate co-ordination,” said Raffaele Trivellato, CFO of DESPAR Northeast Italy.
“We have succeeded in developing a report which is no longer a mere legal fulfilment but rather a publication that connects our financial and non-financial data – reflecting the equally important intangibles that are part of the company’s performance.
“Our integrated report is a tool which over time has come to support our company with internal coordination, helping to upgrade the tools for reporting whilst contributing to the improvement of the decision-making process.”
Raffaele Trivellato who, since the beginning was the company’s trailblazer for this new form of reporting, was invited to represent DESPAR and narrate its journey in integrated reporting at the conference held by the Institute du Capitalisme Responsable in Paris.
