Archive of non-financial reports
About the data
Why is this important?
It is essential that companies archive their disclosures to enable accurate assessments over time.
Context:
When a company removes or replaces the URL of its annual report with the latest version, it becomes nearly impossible for analysts to track progress. Maintaining an organized archive of past disclosures is therefore a key transparency practice.
Methodology
This question most likely requires you to add a new Source.
Note: When adding a new Source, the pdf-snapshot maker does not always capture webpages well. In those cases, go back to the webpage, right-click 'Print', make sure the option 'Print headers and footer' is selected, and 'Save as pdf'. Then add it to Wikirate as a pdf, and add the URL address to the description of the Source.
Go to the company's homepage (link can be found on the company profile on Wikirate) and look for the place where they publish their disclosures. Common names for such pages are ‘Downloads', ‘Reports’, and 'Sustainability'. If you cannot easily find such a page, use their search bar to look for the report.
Alternatively, use a search engine of your choice and look for:
-
[company name] annual report
-
[company name] sustainability report
Note: Make sure to look for a page on the company website that has an archive of their current AND previous sustainability/annual reports, not a direct link to the document you included in your search terms.
If you find such an archive, that is the page you now will use to create a new Source on Wikirate and which you will cite for your answer.
