Abstract
The current paper aims to emphasise the presence of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainability elements in the integrated reporting framework, focusing on the most relevant set of voluntary reporting initiatives in the CSR/sustainability/IR sphere. Based on the theoretical background of the IR framework, ISO 26000 and GRI G4, a comparison analysis has been developed that helped identifying whether IR is a new step in corporate reporting and could contribute to a common ground for the non-financial reporting frameworks and guidelines. The comparison analysis reveals that most of the terms and definitions, elements, and principles from ISO 26000 and GRI G4 are found in the IR framework, but in a much broader sense and providing a deeper understanding regarding what companies should report and how the disclosed information should be organised in the annual corporate report.
