Abstract

Within organisations 'what gets measured gets managed', so regular sustainability reporting means that these important issues can be managed. For external stakeholders, sustainability reporting is an opportunity to engage and hold organisations to account. There are lessons to draw from the private sector, but it still has areas to develop and its approach is not necessarily directly applicable to public sector organisations. There is therefore a need for a framework that enables UK public sector organisations to put sustainability reporting into practice. In September 2005, CIPFA and Forum for the Future convened a working group from throughout the public sector. The group’s task was to create a UK Public Sector Sustainability Reporting Framework. This publication is the result.
