Noteworthy

• IIRC Vision: “The cycle of integrated thinking and reporting, resulting in efficient and productive capital allocation, will act as forces for financial stability and sustainability.”

• Benefits: Communicating versus complying; reporting intangibles; breaking down silos; increasing transparency

• Key audience: providers of financial capital

• Key users: primarily in the context of private sector, for-profit companies of any size but it can also be applied, adapted as necessary, by public sector and not-for-profit organizations.

• Demonstrates accountability and stewardship over capitals (financial, manufactured, intellectual, human, social and relationship and natural) – not just financial capital

• Demands integrated / connected thinking and actions from a company: more than a summary of other information

• “Warts and all” disclosures; material issues;
