The Common Good Report

is the most comprehensive reporting model of the EU reporting obligation for non-financial reporting, as it enables a comprehensive systematic consideration of the company’s activities towards all interest groups. All corporate divisions are reviewed for their social and ecological impact and are further expanded to include values that promote the Common Good.
The individual contribution of your company to the Common Good is defined on the basis of the Common Good Matrix.
