Speaking at the seminar, Swift said, “Sustainability is fundamental and a vital part of any innovation process. Systematic sustainability reporting helps large corporations and organisations to measure the impacts they cause or experience, set goals for the firms, and manage developments and changes. A sustainability report is a way of communicating sustainability performance and impacts – whether positive or negative.”
