The winner was decided by an independent jury and took into account the following criteria: sustainability performance and strategic commitments, materiality, content, structure and creativity in communication, impact measurement and financial and non-financial data integration.
“I am delighted to congratulate Raiffeisen Bank for their performance this year and wish them success in the regional competition,” said Andrei Ionescu, Partner Risk Advisory Deloitte Romania. “Non-financial reporting is a very valuable process for any organization serving both as a mirror reflecting minutely the risk and opportunities matrix at organizational level or in the value chain as well as a sign of respect for employees, clients, partners and suppliers. Our consulting services offer in this area are not just mere beaurocratic exercies but long term partnerships for any organization.”
“This award is a recognition of our efforts during the past eight years in non-financial reporting and encourages us to continue to support transparent and responsible practices in business. We hope that in January will be among the winners of the regional competition and thus encourage as many private or public companies as possible to start their non-financial reporting process,” Corina Vasile, Communication & PR Director Raiffeisen Bank Romania.
