A Closer Look Annual environmental reporting Annual reports with compelling graphics are an excellent way to tell success stories and call attention to issues that need to be addressed. To develop these reports, establish baselines and systems for collecting metrics. Then identify which employee is accountable for each metric. The process of collecting and analysing data, and then writing and formatting the report, can be very time-consuming. So keep it simple, as the target group is limited but important.
