To facilitate global reporting, a CSR extranet was developed in 2007. The Global Corporate Affairs Department in Antwerp manages all the reporting through this reporting platform to ensure that all entities carry out their duties in accordance with laws, regulations and global compliance standards.
Each country has access to this online system. Every entity manages its reporting locally and uploads other relevant information on this extranet.
Best practices within the Group are shared and explained on the information management system. This allows our entities to learn from each other.
Random checks are done regularly on the reports of the local entities and follow up instructions are given if needed. The highlighted structure explains the content of the site.
Much attention is given to standards compliance documents but also to local legislation, training material, communication toolkits, policies and procedures, and updated information on evolving CSR issues.
In 2009 we organised a global training seminar on compliance in Mumbai which also included a session on finetuning the reporting on the CSR Extranet.
