social and environmental reporting

Publicly traded companies are subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements of the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC). The laws that govern the securities industry were established to provide transparency to investors, creditors and shareholders alike. According to Hoyle, Schaefer & Doupnik, (2015) there are seven major disclosure requirements, the first being a five-year summary of operations to encompass sales, assets, income from continuing operations. Followed by a description of business activities, a three year summary of industry segments to include foreign and domestic operations, a list of company directors and executives, quarterly market price of common stock for the last two years, restrictions on the company’s ability to continue paying dividends, and finally, an analysis of the company’s financial condition, changes in the conditions and results of operation.

The Triple Bottom Line (TBL) accounting concept and framework was first created by John Elkington in the mid 1990’s, and has since changed the way for-profit, non-profit and government agencies measure the sustainability of their initiatives and company. The TBL framework is flexible and can be adopted and molded based on the specific needs of an organization. The framework is comprised of three parts, which are: social (People), environmental (Planet), and financial (Profit), commonly referred to as 3Ps. This framework does spark debate regarding the ethical problems behind measuring, quantifying and accounting for social and environmental variables, which is often not supported by many

A significant positive impact on my career came in the shape of record keeping and auditability. This became exceptionally important during a scenario in 2015. We received a significant shipment of weapons parts, the items were processed into the system and brought to the storage section to be stored in the vault. The items were place in the proper bin placement and were secure to the vault. Thirty days later and inventory commenced and it was identified that a weapon part was missing. This item was sensitive in nature and would have caused a significant emotional event and cause for an eventual Inventory Adjustment Report with a follow on investigation. As I conducted my causative research I was able to narrow down to the individuals who processed the items by using reports found in GCSS-A. I was able to identify the exact dates the items entered the SSA, who processed them, who put them away, and who confirmed the processed. This allowed for us to find the missing items in less than one day. We were able to keep this prospective nightmare in house and create a learning

Positive relationships with people within an organisation ensure effective sharing of successful practice. If there is good communication between colleagues, managers and supervisors, it also means that the service will run smoothly- everyone will know their role and responsibilities, and the roles of others- mutual respect for each others work and the ability to support one and other in daily work or in a crisis.

Feedback- This area refers to the ongoing information that employees receive in the performance of their jobs. At my job, we receive feedback, letting us know that we exceeded the standards for call wait times or if we have not met this standard. Feedback also goes back to the management in that they become aware of the situations.

Finally, I believe is important for companies to follow ethical standards that could assist them to make responsible decisions. The ISO 26000 standards is a document that addresses responsible practices related to organizational governance, human rights, labor practices, the environment, fair operating practices, consumer issues and community involvement and development (Ajeti, S. R., 2016, para. 2-4). for example, When Chevron faces difficult situations, they try to resolve them by answering four questions: (1) is it legal? (2) Is it consistent with the company policy, including human rights policy? (3) is it consistent with the chevron’s core values? (4) if it were made public, would be I be comfortable?
