WINNERS
BEST FIRST SUSTAINABILITY REPORTS
The Jury decided to reward two organisations this year, as their first reports were the best in their respective category (“Large organisations” and “Other organisations”).
Winner in the category “Large organisations”
The report of Schréder has been selected by the Jury as “Best first Sustainability Report” in the category “Large organisations”. The Jury appreciated the report being very complete without being too long and its attractive lay-out. The Jury also welcomed the strong materiality assessment and the clear link with the SDGs (including subgoals). The interactions with stakeholders are clearly reported. Governance, risk and ethics are well-described. Long-term and short-term targets are used throughout the report, and compared with actual results /clear measurable targets. The Jury also particularly welcomed the attention for Human Rights-issues in this first sustainability report.
The Jury encourages Schréder to provide more information on how material topics were identified during the interviews with the stakeholders. More links within the report (and to outside docu- ments), more visuals and a clarification of the targets could also facilitate the reading. Visually, the report should show what Schréder does and what they still have to do (including bad news). The Jury suggests to add a summarizing table to give an overview
of Schréder’s performance in its different sustainability axes. The

Jury regrets that there has been no external verification of the
report.
The Jury wants to congratulate Schréder on the Award for the “Best First Sustainability Report” in the category “Large organi- sations”.
Winner in the category “Other organisations”
The report of Oxfam Fair Trade has been selected by the Jury as “Best first Sustainability Report” in the category “Other organisa- tions”.
The Jury appreciated this very appealing report with many mean- ingful summarizing figures. The chosen layout (supplementary text-boxes, infographics and photos) made the report pleasant and easy to understand. The report is well structured, there are clear links with the SDGs, and it provides a very good explanation of the material topics and stakeholder analysis. The link with BCorp was also appreciated.
In the Jury’s eyes, the report of Oxfam Fair Trade is a good example that small organisations can also do sustainability reporting.
The Jury encourages Oxfam Fair Trade to add more KPIs in the future. The Jury would have liked to read more information on governance structure (the Board of Directors and their role in sustainability (decision making)). The link between materiality index and the SDGs could also be clarified as well as the position of Oxfam Fair Trade within the “Oxfam group”.
The Jury wants to congratulate Oxfam Fair Trade on the Award for the “Best First Sustainability Report” in the category “Other organisations”.
BEST SUSTAINABILITY REPORT ON STAKEHOLDER INCLUSIVENESS AND ENGAGEMENT (CROSS-CATEGORIES)
As in the last edition, the Jury decided to also reward the organ- isation which best identified its stakeholders and took into account their reasonable expectations and interests.
The Jury noted that, this year again, the winner is a large organ- isation, as it is difficult for smaller organisations to challenge that criteria.
The report of Elia has been selected by the Jury as “Best Sustain- ability Report on Stakeholder Inclusiveness and Engagement”. The Jury appreciated the very good stakeholder inclusiveness chapter. Who the stakeholders are, why they are important, the frequency of communication with them and how they have been involved in the materiality matrix are clearly stated. Direct and indirect stakeholders are involved and the way stakeholders are interwoven is clear throughout the report. The information on stakeholders is directly integrated in the report.
The Jury wants to congratulate Elia on its “Best Sustainability Report on Stakeholder Inclusiveness and Engagement”.
> Best Sustainability Report in Creativity & Originality (Cross-categories)
To select the winner on this criterion, the Jury focused on the overall readability, accessibility and appealing nature of the report, motivating the reader to further read the report.
The report of De Winning has been selected by the Jury for its “Best Creativity & Originality”.
The Jury enjoyed this visually beautiful, graphically strong and very creative report which allows an insight into what the organ- isation stands for. The design of the report matches with the business model. The visuals used are original and the pictures do not come from a standard database, they have been taken in house, representing what the organisation does. It is a pleasant report to read. The technique of the interviews is used to bring the sustainability story to life. The layout and word choice throughout the text reflect De Winning’s sustainability strategy. In a word, creativity lies in the way the whole report is constructed. The Jury encourages De Winning to add links to other pages of the report or to external information (e.g. website partners).
The Jury wants to congratulate De Winning on its “Sustainability Report with the “Best Creativity & Originality”.
SUSTAINABILITY REPORT BEST LINKED TO THE 2030 SDGS AGENDA (CROSS- CATEGORIES)
Getting closer to the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals Agenda adopted by the United Nations, the Jury wanted to reward an organisation which has embedded the SDG’s in its report, on top of the other traditional criteria.
The report of Schréder has been selected by the Jury as the “Sustainability Report Best Linked to the 2030 SDGs Agenda”.
The Jury valued the use of SDGs for materiality assessment and the clear links to specific SDGs, also in the strategy. The Jury welcomed the original work on the sub SDGs and how they are relevant. It made the report very concrete.
The Jury wants to congratulate Schréder on having the “Sustain- ability Report Best Linked to the 2030 SDG Agenda”.
