In order to inform stakeholders their environmental performance, international corporations started to publish environmental reports in additional to their annual reports. This was gradually evolved into environmental, health and safety reports, and then social responsibility reports or sustainability reports. Environmental reports are also mandatory for all Government departments of the SAR. The quality of the disclosure varies however. The what, how and control of such disclosure is important, and third party assurance is the vital.
