Meeting regulatory requirements, the expectations of customers and other stakeholders means that more and more companies have had to undertake the obligation to prepare non-financial reports on their operations. Together with the financial statements, they give a complete picture of the organisation’s activities, direction, performance and achievements. Currently, over 300 non-financial reports have appeared on the Polish market. Most of these can be found at www.rejestrraportow.pl.
