<IR> Technology Initiative


The <IR> Technology Initiative brings companies together to look at how technology can underpin new trends in corporate reporting, and in particular, can be applied to assist in the global adoption of Integrated Reporting. Participating companies are building a deep understanding of how technology can be applied to assist adopters of <IR> on both sides of the report production and consumption value chain. They respond to challenges and queries from other <IR> network participants, to provide assistance on ways in which technology can be applied to deal with their problems.

The <IR> Technology Initiative features companies from a range of disciplines, including business software, reporting software, sustainability software, consultancy and systems integration, and it enables them to share experiences and lead market innovation.
