Abstract

Sustainability reporting is currently gaining traction in the international community. More and more corporations are now seeing the importance of aligning business objectives with those of society and the environment. While reporting is now common place in developed countries, it is still in the infancy stages in developing countries. This paper aims to describe and analyze the reporting pattern of the first corporation in the Philippines to report about its sustainability efforts. A content analysis was done on the ten sustainability reports issued by Manila Water Company, Inc. The findings show that while the company achieved significant developments in terms of reporting, it still has to report on the more difficult areas such as non-conformance and other not-so-positive aspects of the company.
