CSR template report

The ICAS Sustainability Committee has developed a template Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) report that can be included within a company's annual report - or published as a separate document. The template is not intended to be prescriptive - it is merely illustrative and includes suggestions on what could be included under each heading.
