That’s the conclusion of The Non-Reporting Report, produced by UK consulting firm SustainAbility Ltd. for the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP). Some 32 organisations from Europe, North America, Asia, and Australia, have also asked the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development to “bring much stronger pressure to bear on their members to begin reporting by the end of 2000.
