Dr. Page Moderated Session at Sustainable Investment Conference

Dr. Mike Page, Dean/Executive Director RSM B.V. moderated the Roundtable Challenge - The Value of Reporting on 11 November 2004 at this year's Triple Bottom Line Investing (TBLI) Conference in Amsterdam.

The session covered integrated reporting systems, like Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), which are being used more frequently by multinationals as a management tool and as a means to provide sustainability performance information to investors.

The panel explored the management value of GRI reporting; whether or not all of the information requirements are necessary given the various sector and cultural differences; and whether or not if it is a useful tool for SRI analysts and sustainability managers.

Distinguished Panel Speakers

Panel speakers at this session included Dr. David Ladipo, Co-founder and Director of Lintstock Ltd., UK; Glenn H. Frommer, Environment Director of MTR, China; Andreas Knorzer, Head of Sustainable Investment of Bank Sarasin & Cie AG, Switzerland; Rene Th.H. Willemsen, Chairman of VBA - Association of Investment Analysts, The Netherlands; and Warren Evans, Sector Director Environment Department of the World Bank, USA.
