Orkla wishes to build confidence in the Group's operations through transparency and good communication, and publishes an annual sustainability report based on the international reporting standard GRI G3.
Orkla's sustainability report presents the Group's management of risks and opportunities related to the sustainability challenges that particularly affect the business. It also provides a detailed account of efforts related to environment, health and safety (EHS), human and labour rights, responsible sourcing, anti-corruption and other relevant liability issues.
The structure of reporting has changed from 2011. Previously, Orkla has published a separate EHS report, but from 2011 the reporting on environment, health and safety will be integrated into the sustainability report. As a consequence, the 2011 report expands the coverage of these issues as compared with previous sustainability reports.
The thematic approach and the treatment and selection of information in Orkla’s sustainability report are based on the GRI principles for good reporting practices. Orkla attaches importance to identifying the material and relevant challenges that the Group faces, and concentrates its efforts on areas in which the Group has great potential influence.
The information in Orkla's sustainability report is based on input from many different units and data sources. Great emphasis has been given to ensuring that the information is correct. The report does not aim to cover all matters that may be important for individual local businesses, activities or products.
In order for us to further develop and improve the sustainability work and reporting procedures, we would appreciate your comments and suggestions. Such comments can be sent to info@orkla.no.
