About Reporting 3.0

• A global, multi-stakeholder oriented platform building knowledge & solutions for future-fit disclosure practices on a pre-competitive level

• …since developments in reporting over the last 20 years fall short of the need to serve a Green & Inclusive Economy

• …while various essential constituencies don’t collaborate as needed• …and new trends & developments around reporting, accounting, IT and AI as

well as new business models increase pace of change and need coordination• Organisation & activities:

• established 2012, non-profit status (in foundation), neutral & collaborative approach• 3 Annual Global Conferences, various transition labs and regional roundtables• agnostic to competition in various ‘markets’ around reporting• results are a ‘global public good’ and freely available

A growing global network since 2013

Key Takeaways so far…• Macro-, meso- and micro-level design needs economic

system, reporting, accounting, data and business modeling expertise. Reporting 3.0 combines them all.

• Future-fit reporting needs

• clarity about purpose and connectedness toward meso-and macro requirements of G&I Economy

• multi-capital based success measurement and broadervalue assessment basis

• identified areas of scalability of products, services, networking,collaboration, advocation and education impact

• resulting in ‘integral thinking & true materiality’, building trust, innovation and resilience as an outcome

• Conventional stakeholder dialogue only at the surface

• Some existing tools & methodologies, mostly IT based, are serving design requirements.

• Accountants mostly inactive & unconnected in designing multi-capital accounting.

• New data created outside of reporting entity gets more relevant, but put companies on the defensive. New quality of stakeholder dialogue could arise.

• SDGs are important step forward, allow performance learning based on thresholds. Overall the SDGs remain an intermediate step to become ‘zero negative’, need innovation impulse.

Key Takeaways so far (continued)

• Set of Reporting 3.0 Blueprint projects help develop ‘glue’ between macro-, meso-, micro levels of future-fit reporting design, and involving key constituencies into a systemic design sphere.

• Future success measurement needs to assess closure of sustainability gap, organizational transformation capabilities and leadership readiness; from ESG Push towards GSE Pull.

• Economic system boundaries change necessary, needs corporate advocacy. Without them, there will never be sustainability!
