This C&A Europe Corporate Responsibillity Report 2014 relates to our sustainability activities and performance in 2012 and 2013. Our C&A Europe reporting cycle is presently biennial. Our previous Report was published in 2012, covering 2010 and 2011. We plan to publish our next C&A Report in 2015.
This Report is published in both print and online formats. The print and online Report formats contain the same content. Additionally, the online Report format provides some additional case studies, links to policy documents and the GRI Index for the Report.
Our aim in this C&A Europe 2014 report is to provide you with concise information on our priority areas of sustainability action in our C&A Europe operations and supply chain. This forms the boundary of the Report. The content of this Report is defined by our global sustainability framework, which incorporates initial feedback from key stakeholders on priority issues for C&A Europe and the apparel industry to make the transition to sustainable fashion.
All disclosures relate to C&A Europe unless otherwise stated.
The main restriction in scope of reporting applies to financial information. At this stage in our reporting journey, we report in more detail on our manufacturing supply chain than our raw materials supply chain.
No significant changes in reporting scope, boundary or measurement techniques have been made compared to our 2012 Report.
We also asked Forum for the Future, the sustainability non-profit organisation, to review the Report and provide its independent view on our performance and reporting. Their commentary is published in both the print and online formats of our Report.
