Making words into reality
Our CSR reporting highlights how we are putting our Corporate Principles into practice and the ways in which we are making the Group a sustainable business over the long-term. It has been externally verified and has been prepared in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative's (2002) Sustainability Reporting Guidelines.

Monitoring our performance
By benchmarking and monitoring our performance against external standards and the wider business community we gain independent information to help assess our performance, and to let us know where we have better practice and where we need to improve.

In November 2006, we participated in the Business in the Community Corporate Reporting Index. The results provide us with a benchmark against which we can measure changes in our performance. National Australia Group UK was awarded a Bronze ranking in the Index and was one of the Top 100 Companies that Count. We also obtained a Silver ranking in the Community Index.

The Index measures performance of the participants across a number of areas including management practice, social impact, environmental impact and integration. The schedule below details how we as a business performed in the Index against these categories. We shall be participating in the Survey again in 2008.
