"Any business not thinking about integrated reporting needs to know that their competitors probably are. This is a commercial as well as a sustainability fact of life."
Malcolm Preston, global head of Sustainability and Climate Change, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (UK)

"One Report has the potential to significantly change how investors think about value. The models we use to predict the future value of our investments are changing as analysts discover new factors that make significant contributions to a company's 'upside' as well as its 'downside.' Companies that use an integrated reporting approach benefit by being better managed and also give notice of their intention to recognize an enhanced array of relationships that lead to better performance. Financial fiduciaries and long-term investors should celebrate the ideas put forth in this comprehensive, well-researched, and engaging book."
Laura Berry, Executive Director, Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility

"The Brazilian stock exchange, BM&FBOVESPA, welcomes the idea of a 'One Report,' as proposed in this book, in which companies reaffirm every yearin just one documenttheir commitment to governance, civic awareness, and sustainability. The number of Brazilian companies that do this, like Natura, continues to grow. A company's communication is just as important as its corporate strategy. After all, it is through communication that companies develop a permanent dialogue with their stakeholders."
Edemir Pinto, CEO, BM&FBOVESPA

"Ensuring that responsibility for the impact of a company's products and services on society as a whole is firmly embedded in a company's core business is increasingly accepted. This book makes a powerful case for the logical next step that such reporting should be integrated with normal corporate financial reporting. It also discusses, with examples, ways in which the use of technology can make integrated reporting both less cumbersome and more comprehensive than before."
Sir Mark Moody-Stuart, Chairman, Hermes Equity Ownership Services and Board Member, United Nations Global Compact

"When I was a Commissioner at the Securities and Exchange Commission, I headed a task force of international regulators to study whether financial statements (designed for nineteenth century companies) could be made more relevant to the needs of today. The task force would have benefited greatly from the recent efforts of two thoughtful authors to improve financial reporting. Eccles and Krzus propose a principles-based 'comply or explain why not' approach to have integrated reporting adopted as the model for financial statements. This sensible and flexible approach is an idea worthy of serious consideration in the U.S. and the rest of the globe."
Roel Campos, former Commissioner of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission

"As evident and straightforward as it may sound in terms of providing stakeholdersand the companywith the benefits of an informative overview of and entry into a company's reporting of financial and non financial issues, it is quite a journey to get to 'One Report.' But it is the only way. Eccles and Krzus's book is an inspirational and practical guide on how to get there."
Mads Øvlisen, Chairman of The Danish Council on Corporate Social Responsibility and CEO of Novo Nordisk 19842000
