CSR STUDIES
Novethic conducts studies to assess the reporting quality of French companies on a range of sustainable development issues.
REPORTING ANALYSIS
Listed mining sector and communication on sustainable development: can do a lot better!
The study focuses on 23 mining companies listed on European markets. Within this group, 12 companies are considered to provide partial communication, while 5 companies are deemed to offer only opaque reporting, amongst them Glencore, one of the mining giants. In light of the fact that mining companies made up 70% of the new entries on the London Stock Exchange in the first half of 2011, this study serves as an important warning to institutional investors of the eventual risks that the conflicts between mining companies and NGOs represent as well as the gaps in their reporting.

Sustainable Building: An Energy and Funding Issue
The economics of real estate will have to change in order for different players to construct and operate buildings in line with the principles of sustainable development. The financial sector's heeding of these criteria could be key in spurring growth in sustainable real estate. This Novethic/ADEME study, based on an exclusive investigation of a panel of companies listed on the SBF 120, analyses the challenges of sustainable building, and examines the achievements made in socially responsible real estate investment.
