Jean-Florent
Rerolle, Partner da KPMG, é o autor do texto «Integrated Reporting is
taking off in France» recentemente
disponibilizado no site <IR> - veja
aqui. Começa assim:
«Here we are! The idea of integrated
reporting is significantly growing in France. It does not mean that
numerous integrated reports will be published next year, but that most major
French companies have now assimilated the idea. Most are at least pondering
what it could mean for them over the next few years.
It was about time. According to
the IIRC, 1,000 companies worldwide have published a report qualified
“integrated”. Even though the practices remain heterogeneous and are sometimes
far from the original philosophy, this number illustrates a growing interest
for this new approach. Integrated reporting has already become a reality for
some years in South Africa where it is recommended in the governance
code. It also won its nobility title in the UK where, since October 2013,
boards are requested to publish an annual “Strategic
report ” which
guidelines are largely inspired by the IIRC framework. And many other
countries have expressed a strong interest in the concept». Continue

Na imagem acima, o Guia seguido no UK para o Relatório aqui
em causa, onde, como se verifica, se adoptou a designação «Estratégico», o que
revela uma das dimensões centrais do conceito que lhe está subjacente.
Ainda: trouxemos a reflexão de Rerolle para o Iscal é Verde
porque, a nosso ver, de uma maneira muito prática, expõe um ponto de situação a
nível mundial sobre o «Relatório Integrado», com esta ou outra designação. E,
quem sabe, contribua para estimular reflexão desta matéria, de uma maneira programada, no
nosso País.
