  reporting is founded. It is a comprehensive
  notion that includes many aspects of business
  success, including the governance of society and
  the environment.

  reporting standards include the impact of
  business on various environmental resources, the
  efforts companies are making to reduce their
  carbon footprint, and how they are interacting
  with their workforce on a social level.
  Additionally, it establishes criteria for
  measuring how well organisations are doing in
  terms of the governance component of their
  operations.

savings can be maximized and areas where spending
can be cut. It also identifies the areas where
the funds are needed and needs to be restricted.
