The third panel of the First Annual Sustainability Investment Leadership Conference addressed how investors judge sustainability information when assessing a company's value. Data Quantity-and Quality Karp stressed the importance of the private sector to the global economic recovery and the need for companies to work with investors to formulate "a new social contract for companies that 'get it' and aspire to raise the bar for themselves and those around them" through innovation and research into what stakeholders want from integrated reporting.
